PDF-CHAPTER Proof by Contradiction e now explore a third method of proof proof by contradiction

The basic idea is to assume that the statement we want to prove is false and then show that this assumption leads to nonsense We are then led to conclude that we were wrong to assume the statement was false so the statement must be true As an examp. These three techniques are used to prove statements of the form If then As we know most theorems and propositions have this conditional form or they can be reworded to have this form Thus the three main techniques are quite important But some theo Jeff Craven, Marcia Cronce, and Steve Davis.
