Infinite descent can be used to prove the irrationality of the square root of two. A common application of proof by mathematical induction is to prove that a property known to hold for one number holds for all natural numbers: Let N = {1,2,3,4,...} be the set of natural numbers, and P(n) be a mathematical statement involving the natural number n belonging to N such that.n proof by contradiction (also known as reductio ad absurdum, Latin for by reduction to the absurd), it is shown that if some statement were true, a logical contradiction occurs, hence the statement must be false.
