It has been traced back to the Swiss Jakob (James) Bernoulli, the Frenchman B. Pascal and P. Fermat, and the Italian F. Maurolycus. By reading a little between the lines one can find traces of mathematical induction still earlier, in the writings of the Hindus and the Greeks, as, for instance, in the "cyclic method" of Bhaskara, and in Euclid's proof that the number of primes is infinite.' 8673: 40: 1930: 9072:
It is mistakenly printed in several books and sources that the well-ordering principle is equivalent to the induction axiom. In the context of the other Peano axioms, this is not the case, but in the context of other axioms, they are equivalent; specifically, the well-ordering principle implies the

Another important idea introduced by al-Karaji and continued by al-Samaw'al and others was that of an inductive argument for dealing with certain arithmetic sequences. Thus al-Karaji used such an argument to prove the result on the sums of integral cubes already known to

may be read as a set representing a proposition, and containing natural numbers, for which the proposition holds. This is not an axiom, but a theorem, given that natural numbers are defined in the language of ZFC set theory by axioms, analogous to Peano's. See

Predecessor induction can trivially simulate prefix induction on the same statement. Prefix induction can simulate predecessor induction, but only at the cost of making the statement more syntactically complex (adding a
8806: 6721: 5814: 7324:. However, proving the validity of the statement for no single number suffices to establish the base case; instead, one needs to prove the statement for an infinite subset of the natural numbers. For example, 2051: 1687: 2741: 9068:
Peano's axioms with the induction principle uniquely model the natural numbers. Replacing the induction principle with the well-ordering principle allows for more exotic models that fulfill all the axioms.

Complete induction is equivalent to ordinary mathematical induction as described above, in the sense that a proof by one method can be transformed into a proof by the other. Suppose there is a proof of
4446: 1353: 1258: 495:, in which the examination of many cases results in a probable conclusion. The mathematical method examines infinitely many cases to prove a general statement, but it does so by a finite chain of 6726: 5901: 2930: 1702: 629:
None of these ancient mathematicians, however, explicitly stated the induction hypothesis. Another similar case (contrary to what Vacca has written, as Freudenthal carefully showed) was that of
1568: 5957: 4451: 7092: 7588: 7329: 7273: 4598: 4558:. In fact, it is called "prefix induction" because each step proves something about a number from something about the "prefix" of that number — as formed by truncating the low bit of its 1143: 7528: 4331: 1073: 188: 1435: 8543:
It can then be proved that induction, given the above-listed axioms, implies the well-ordering principle. The following proof uses complete induction and the first and fourth axioms.

Complete induction is most useful when several instances of the inductive hypothesis are required for each induction step. For example, complete induction can be used to show that

The axiom of structural induction for the natural numbers was first formulated by Peano, who used it to specify the natural numbers together with the following four other axioms:

In practice, proofs by induction are often structured differently, depending on the exact nature of the property to be proven. All variants of induction are special cases of
7777: 7749: 6976: 6716: 5432: 4863:. The name "strong induction" does not mean that this method can prove more than "weak induction", but merely refers to the stronger hypothesis used in the induction step. 8985: 8872: 6539: 6404: 1925:{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}{\frac {k(k+1)}{2}}+(k+1)&={\frac {k(k+1)+2(k+1)}{2}}\\&={\frac {(k+1)(k+2)}{2}}\\&={\frac {(k+1)((k+1)+1)}{2}}.\end{aligned}}} 6003: 2883: 6895: 5059: 443: 7689: 7127: 6341: 6315: 5707: 5496: 5280: 5254: 5199: 4866:
In fact, it can be shown that the two methods are actually equivalent, as explained below. In this form of complete induction, one still has to prove the base case,

Authors who prefer to define natural numbers to begin at 0 use that value in the base case; those who define natural numbers to begin at 1 use that value.
10401: 9930: 8812:. Moreover, except for the induction axiom, it satisfies all Peano axioms, where Peano's constant 0 is interpreted as the pair (0, 0), and Peano's 9566: 1937: 1573: 855: 9155: 4052: 953:
This states a general formula for the sum of the natural numbers less than or equal to a given number; in fact an infinite sequence of statements:

This could be called "predecessor induction" because each step proves something about a number from something about that number's predecessor. 11076: 3573: 4135:
The validity of this method can be verified from the usual principle of mathematical induction. Using mathematical induction on the statement

Mathematical induction proves that we can climb as high as we like on a ladder, by proving that we can climb onto the bottom rung (the

Because of that, proofs using prefix induction are "more feasibly constructive" than proofs using predecessor induction. 6856:{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}4\cdot 3+5\cdot 0=12\\4\cdot 2+5\cdot 1=13\\4\cdot 1+5\cdot 2=14\\4\cdot 0+5\cdot 3=15\end{aligned}}} 6634:
However, there will be slight differences in the structure and the assumptions of the proof, starting with the extended base case.

as described below, although it is no longer equivalent to ordinary induction. In this form the base case is subsumed by the case

The result is a rigorous proof of the statement, not an assertion of its probability. 17: 9262:"The earliest implicit proof by mathematical induction was given around 1000 in a work by the Persian mathematician Al-Karaji" 4113:. Because there are no infinite decreasing sequences of natural numbers, this situation would be impossible, thereby showing ( 11631: 10061: 9807: 9779: 9750: 9669: 10419: 7354:. To illustrate this, Joel E. Cohen proposed the following argument, which purports to prove by mathematical induction that 4023:, the second case in the induction step (replacing three 5- by four 4-dollar coins) will not work; let alone for even lower 11486: 10809: 10119:

Applied to a well-founded set, transfinite induction can be formulated as a single step. To prove that a statement

Since both the base case and the induction step have been proved as true, by mathematical induction the statement
