uses mathematical induction to prove results involving sums and divisibility
Examine the nature of inductive proof, including the statement to be proved, the base case and the inductive step
Prove results for sums using mathematical induction
Prove divisibility results using mathematical induction
Identify errors in false ‘proofs by induction’, such as cases where only one of the two required steps of a proof by induction is true
