\begin{ex}{3.2}
What is an example of a proof with mathematical content?
\end{ex}
\begin{sol}\
\begin{proof}
If you want to include math in a sentence, you use \$. For example (see latex file), $\int x = \frac{1}{2}x^2 + C$. If you want to display math (centered on a new line), use \$\$. For example (see latex file), $$\sum_{i=1}^{100} i = 5050.$$ Next is an example of the \texttt{align} environment:
%Note 1: The * tells LaTeX not to number the lines. If you remove the *, be sure to remove it below, too.
%Note 2: Inside the align environment, you do not want to use $-signs. The reason for this is that this is already a math environment. This is why we have to include \text{} around any text inside the align environment.
\begin{align*}
\sum_{i=1}^{k+1}i & = \left(\sum_{i=1}^{k}i\right) +(k+1)\\
& = \frac{k(k+1)}{2}+k+1 & (\text{by inductive hypothesis})\\
& = \frac{k(k+1)+2(k+1)}{2}\\
& = \frac{(k+1)(k+2)}{2}\\
& = \frac{(k+1)((k+1)+1)}{2}.
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\end{sol}
