Geometric Proofs: Why are proofs important

The video introduces geometric proofs, using a peanut butter and jelly sandwich analogy to explain the importance of breaking down complex tasks into simple steps. It emphasizes the need for logical progression in proofs and provides a definition of a proof as a series of true statements leading to a conclusion.
