The video tutorial introduces the concept of mathematical induction using a domino analogy. It explains the process of proving a statement for all natural numbers by first proving it for an initial case and then showing that if it holds for an arbitrary case, it holds for the next one. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of proving the first domino falls and the inductive step, which involves proving S of K + 1. The explanation is concluded with an abstract example to illustrate the concept.
