An Induction Proof of the Factorization of a^n-b^n
Ron Persky
Editor’s Note: Ron Persky is a long-time contributor to delta-K and a strong supporter of mathematics education in the United States. This proof is included in this issue as a mathematical prompt because, in Persky’s words, it is “not what you call advanced math but I just think it is nice.” I agree.
