i'veI've been studying the construction of the natural numbers, and iI can't solvedsolve my own question, my question is:namely
Why is it necessary to use mathematical induction?
Why is necessary use the mathematical induction? Let me clarify this, for. For example, we know ifthat, for all $n,m \in \mathbb{N}$, then $n \cdot m = m \cdot n.$ For$n \cdot m = m \cdot n$. In order to prove this, we use mathematical induction, but when we think about $n,m \in \mathbb{R}$ real(real numbers), for in order to prove $n \cdot m= m \cdot n,$$n \cdot m= m \cdot n$, we don't need mathemathicalmathematical induction .
Why sometimes in a proof it's enough to take $x \in \mathbb{R}$, arbitrary number, but for natural numbers is necessary mathematical induction. is necessary?
Anyone can help me, please?
I'llI hope onesomebody can give me a hint forin order to understand this question.
