Mathematical induction is a mathematical technique that is used to prove statements about natural numbers. It is a powerful tool that can be used to prove a wide variety of statements, from simple ones like the fact that the sum of the first $n$ positive integers is $n(n+1)/2$, to more complex ones like the fact that every positive integer can be written as a sum of squares.
