Hello,

Mathematical Induction is a technique of proving a statement, or formula, or a theorem, which is asserted about natural numbers. The principle of mathematical induction contains the set of Natural Numbers (N) and it states that if a statement is true for a natural number n = k, then it will be true for its successor n = k + 1 and when the statement is true for n = 1, then it will be true for every other natural number.

Therefore, it is clear that mathematical induction is the principle containing the set 'N' where 'N' belongs to natural numbers.

Hope this helps!
