... “Proof”. To prove this by induction, we let P (n) be the statement “For any set of n tables, all n tables are the same height.” If we prove this true for all n, it will certainly be true for n = the number of tables that exist. Now we proceed by induction on the number of tables. The base case is th ...

... It is a well-known fact that Hilbert series can be computed by using the graded Betti numbers, so the minimal free resolution is a finer invariant than Hilbert series. On the other hand unlike the case of Hilbert series, the graded Betti numbers depend on the characteristic of the ground field K. Ho ...

... vertices, every path of length greater than or equal to n has a cycle. Proof: Let the nodes of G be the pigeonholes and the nodes appearing on the path be the items. We put an item in a mail box (i.e., a node) if that item appears on the path. If a path length is greater than or equal to n, then it ...

Proof that 2+2=4
... This is a contradiction to Fermat’s Little Theorem, so 2 + 2 must not be prime. But 3 is prime. Hence 2 + 2 must not equal 3, and therefore 2 + 2 ≥ 4. It remains to show that 2 + 2 is not greater than 4. To prove this we need the following lemma: Lemma 1. ∀a ∈ Z, if a > 4, ∃b ∈ Z such that b > 0 and ...
