Yes, I can certainly help with induction proofs! Mathematical induction is a method used to prove statements or formulas that are asserted for every natural number \( n \). The process typically involves two key steps:

1. **Base Case:** Verify that the statement holds for the initial value, often \( n = 1 \).
2. **Inductive Step:** Assume the statement is true for \( n = k \) (inductive hypothesis) and then prove it for \( n = k + 1 \).

If you have a specific induction problem you'd like to work through, feel free to provide it, and I'll guide you through the solution!

Would you like to see an example induction proof, or do you have a specific problem in mind? 

### Follow-Up Questions:
1. What kind of induction problem are you currently working on (e.g., sums, inequalities, divisibility)?
2. Are you familiar with the difference between simple and strong induction?
3. Would you like an explanation of each step of the induction process?
4. Do you need help with the base case, the inductive step, or both?
5. Are there other proof techniques you'd like to compare with induction?

**Tip:** When writing the inductive hypothesis, clearly state what you're assuming. This assumption is crucial for successfully proving the next step.
