And So on

Synopsis
Shows how mathematical induction is used to prove results involving natural numbers. Considers problems such as: if you joined up n points taken at random from around the edge of a circle, how many areas would you get? If you made a trianglar pyramid out of cannon balls, how many are there in a typical layer? And how many in the top n layers?

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
