Proof by Mathematical Induction
Proof by induction:

For all $$n \in \N^*$$, let $$P \left({n}\right)$$ be the proposition:
 * $$proposition_n$$

$$P(1)$$ is true, as this just says $$proposition_1$$.

Basis for the Induction
$$P(2)$$ is the case:
 * $$proposition_2$$

which has been proved above.

This is our basis for the induction.

Induction Hypothesis
Now we need to show that, if $$P \left({k}\right)$$ is true, where $$k \ge 2$$, then it logically follows that $$P \left({k+1}\right)$$ is true.

So this is our induction hypothesis:
 * $$proposition_k$$

Then we need to show:
 * $$proposition_{k+1}$$

Induction Step
This is our induction step:

$$ $$

So $$P \left({k}\right) \implies P \left({k+1}\right)$$ and the result follows by the Principle of Mathematical Induction.

Therefore:
 * $$proposition_n$$
