Two sets have equal cardinality when a bijection pairs their elements; Cantor's diagonal set defeats every function from S to its power set by constructing a value it misses.
Starting with walks, paths, cycles, and components, this lecture proves that a graph or its complement is connected and develops the pigeonhole principle through degrees and monochromatic triangles.
Use the generalized pigeonhole principle to force a monochromatic triangle at a six-person party, then solve a movie-preference puzzle through average load and contradiction.
Induction is not a list of checked examples: establish a true starting point, prove that an arbitrary true case transmits truth to the next case, and invoke the induction principle.
