Description: About mathematical induction. Rules that say that when a first situation occurs, so should a second, are called implication rules. Implication rules can be linked together, one after another. A ladder-based story illustrates the underlying idea, called induction. This story involving Romeo and Juliet leads to the notion called mathematical induction, a method of reason or logic used in mathematics after arithmetic to get conclusions (or climb ladders).
