A mathematical expression is a string of symbols which describes (or expresses) a (potential or actual) computation using operators and operands.

For example,

3+5*6/10 describes a computation in which we add 3 and the subexpression 5*6/10.
5*6/10 describes a computation in which we multiply 5 times 6 and then divide the result by 10.

Mathematical inductionMathematical induction is a method of mathematical proof typically used to establish that a given statement is true of all natural numbers, or otherwise is true of all members of an infinite sequence.
