Métodos básicos de demostración y el principio de inducción matemática
Abstract
The basic techniques of mathematical demonstration used in practice are presented. Special attention is given to the methods of demonstration based on the Principle of mathematical induction, such as the method of induction and the method of complete induction. The manuscript is completed with several examples and a list of exercises on how to use the Principle of induction.
