👉 Argument math, also known as proof by contradiction, is a powerful logical technique used to establish the truth of a mathematical statement by demonstrating its negation leads to a contradiction. The process begins by assuming the opposite of what you want to prove—essentially, assuming the statement's negation is true. From this assumption, you then derive a logical sequence of statements, often involving previously proven theorems or axioms. If this sequence leads to a contradiction, such as a statement and its negation both being true, it implies that the initial assumption (the negation) must be false. Therefore, the original statement must be true. This method is particularly useful when direct proof is challenging, as it leverages the inherent consistency of mathematical systems to validate the truth of a proposition.
