About this document
Introduction to Mathematical Proofs by yoyo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) Mathematical proofs are used to establish that mathematical statements are absolutely true rather than just probably true. They involve logical steps rather than just testing with examples. 2) There are three main types of proof: proof by deduction uses logical steps rather than examples, proof by exhaustion considers all possibilities, and disproof by counter-example finds a single exception. 3) The document provides examples of each type of proof for statements involving numbers, logarithms, and polyn
