| Principle of Mathematical Induction (PMI) |
|
 |
| |
| (i) P(1) is true |
| |
(ii) P(r) is true  P(r+1) is true. |
| |
|
| |
| Step I: Denote the statement involving natural numbers n = 1, 2,…. by P(n). |
| |
| Step II: Prove that the statement P(1) holds good by putting n = 1 on one side of the statement and then simplifying it to take the form of the expression on the other side. |
| |
Step III: Assume that the statement p(n) is true for n = r,  i.e., P(r) is true. |
| |
| Step IV: Use the assumption p(r) is true, to prove p(r+1) is true. |
