... If you find a simple proof, and you are convinced of its correctness, then don't be shy about. Many times proofs are simple and short. In the theorem below, a perfect square is meant to be an integer in the form x2 where x itself is an integer and an odd integer is any integer in the form 2x+1 where ...

... Theorem: Every integer > 1 has a unique prime factorization. [The result is true, but the following proof is not:] Proof: By strong induction. Let P (n) be the statement that n has a unique factorization. We prove P (n) for n > 1. Basis: P (2) is clearly true. Induction step: Assume P (2), . . . , ...

... Proofs In the predicate calculus, it is not possible to use truth tables to prove most results since statements depend on one or more variables. This makes the job of proving results quite a bit more difficult. Would it be possible to use truth tables if the domain(s) of the variable(s) are finite? ...
