The video tutorial introduces mathematical induction, a method used to prove statements for all natural numbers. It covers the three main steps: verifying the base case, setting up the inductive step, and executing the inductive step. The tutorial provides a detailed example, replacing variables with specific values to demonstrate the process. The algebraic proof is shown to confirm the equality of both sides, ensuring the statement holds true for all cases.
