Proof

There are only three types of proofs:

1. Proof by Induction
2. Proof by Contradiction
3. Proof by Direct Method (simple linear steps)

People who prove a problem by Induction are considered the elite and elegant people of the mathematical society. And then comes proof by contradiction and then the commoners are the people who use direct method to prove.
