Abstract

The purpose of this paper may be found in the following quotation. “Whenever an argument can be made to lead to a descending infinitude of natural numbers the hypothesis upon which the argument rests becomes untenable. This method of proof is called the method of infinite descent; .... It would be interesting and valuable to compare this method with the method of mathematical induction.”
