| Character | Origin | Author | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Induction Penguin | Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking | Rajiv Gandhi | An awesome metaphor used by Professor Gandhi to teach the concept of Mathematical Induction. For example, to prove that a penguin can climb 'n' steps, we can first prove that it can reach the first step, and then we can prove that if we assume it can climb 'k' steps, then it can also climb 'k'+1 steps. This is an example of weak induction. |
