Additional Material

(The 'detailed examples' below should be viewed with a PDF viewer in full-screen or presentation mode in order to correctly show the incremental builds.) comparison of derivation-style and natural language proofs using strong induction of the fact that every postage greater than 7 can be formed with 3- and 5-cent stamps
A detailed example of a calculation.
A detailed example of a derivation.
A detailed example of a derivation with quantifiers.
A video explaining an application of the case distinction proof principle. (At the beginning and at the end of the video references are made to other videos, which are not yet available. Please also note that there are two typos in the hints, the texts between parentheses associated with the derivation: the hint on line (6) should refer to line (5) instead of line (4); the hint on line (11) should refer to line (9) instead of line (10).)
A detailed example of a derivation-style proof of a set-theoretic property.
A detailed example of the construction of the proof of a property pertaining to sets and mappings; first a derivation-style proof is constructed, which is, subsequently, also transformed into a proof in natural language.
A detailed explanation of the construction of the proof by induction; first a derivation-style proof is constructed, and then also a proof in natural language is given.
A proof by strong induction of the fact that every postage greater than 7 cents can be formed with 3-cent and 5-cent stamps; both a derivation-style proof and a natural language proof are given side by side to allow for a detailed comparison.
