First used in the 1500s to prove that the sum of the first n odd positive integers equals [*] n squared, it is also useful for proving explicit representations of iterative sequences. For 10 points—what is this method for proving an infinite sequence of propositions by proving a base case, and then proving that an arbitrary element of the sequence implies the next element?
