... Proof. Suppose that A has no smallest element; then we have to show that A is empty. We prove the following by induction on n: for all n ∈ N, 1, 2, . . . , n are all not in A. Base case. When n = 1, we have to show that 1 is not in A. But if 1 were in A then it would be the smallest element of A, si ...

Setting up an IBM 1620 he further found that the last three digits repeat every 1,500 times, the last four every 15,000, t ...
