Kumari, Aradhana – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2021
Solving problems involving absolute value is one of the hardest topics for students learning in elementary algebra course. This is an important topic in student's mathematics life since absolute value functions are important example of a function which is continuous on the real line but not differentiable at the origin. A deep understanding of…

Vármonostory, Endre – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2009
The method of proof by mathematical induction follows from Peano axiom 5. We give three properties which are often used in the proofs by mathematical induction. We show that these are equivalent. Supposing the well-ordering property we prove the validity of this method without using Peano axiom 5. Finally, we introduce the simplest form of…
