Interactive Online System for Mathematical Induction
Mathematical Induction is a foundational proof technique in discrete mathematics, whereas many students struggle to cover the gap from procedural to abstract reasoning. This project is based on the interactive online system for mathematical induction, developed to teach mathematical induction with …
