The video tutorial explains mathematical induction using three examples: tiling grids with L-shaped tiles, solving the Tower of Hanoi problem, and two-coloring regions in a circle. It begins with an introduction to the tiling problem, followed by a detailed explanation of the inductive step. The Tower of Hanoi example demonstrates the use of induction to find the minimum number of moves required. The two-coloring problem shows how induction can prove that any circle divided by line segments can be two-colored. The video concludes with a domino visualization to illustrate the concept of induction.
