Popis: In Example 1.2 we gave a proof of 1 + 1 = 2 in 17 (!) proof steps. At that point you may have asked yourself: If it takes that much effort to prove such a simple statement, how can one ever prove any non-trivial mathematical result using formal proofs? This objection is of course justified; however, we will show in this chapter how one can simplify formal proofs using some methods of proof such as proofs by cases or by contradiction.
