Abstract: In this presentation we are going to learn about the Principle of Mathematical Induction. Mathematical Induction is typically used to show that a given statement in true for all natural numbers. We use PMI as the most useful tool for analysing algorithms. In this presentation I am going to talk about how induction works and we'll see some examples about the connection of Induction and Recursive functions.
