Section 13 due October 5

1. Induction is confusing. It's like... a proof made of infinite smaller proofs... and we establish a pattern of proof that we can say continues forever for all natural numbers? That's my takeaway from the reading. I don't understand what RHS and LHS is referring to in the reading... and I'm concerned about the sudden emergence of summation notation and series'. But I guess I'll get refreshed on it all.

2. I underestimated the importance of the concept of infinity in mathematics. It's interesting to me that we often consider mathematics to be a concrete study of the more tangible operations of logic and the world, but often the abstract concept of infinity proves very useful, for instance in our proofs by induction. It's just interesting to think about sequences, or series, or proofs that go on forever.
