mathematical induction n. logical induction as applied to mathematical proof; chiefly spec. with reference to the principle that if a proposition P(n) is true when n takes a particular value m, and if for all integer values of n greater than or equal to m, P(n) implies P(n + 1), then P(n) is true for all integers greater than or equal to m.
