Proof by Deduction and Examples

The video tutorial explains proof by deduction, a method of proving statements by starting from known truths and following a logical chain of reasoning. It covers three examples: proving the difference between squares of consecutive integers, Pythagoras's theorem, and properties of triangular numbers. Each example demonstrates how to use logical reasoning to reach a desired conclusion, emphasizing the importance of starting from undeniable truths and using logical consequences.
