Counterexample to Induction Theorem

Description

This lecture presents a counterexample to the commonly held idea that induction principle works without the initial step. By demonstrating a property of natural numbers, the instructor shows that a specific expression is a multiple of 7, using algebraic manipulations and logical reasoning. The lecture concludes by discussing the implications of the counterexample and the need for additional arguments to prove the falsity of a certain proposition.
