Both proofs required that we select an arbitrary element from some set $A$, and show that because that arbitrarily chosen element satisfies some property, all elements of set $A$ satisfy that property. This is simply a rehash of the concept of Universal Specification and Universal Generalization as discussed in Chapter 2.
In this section, we adapt the methods of Universal Specification and Universal Generalization to a new, powerful proof technique we can use for sets.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en-US</language><atom:link href="https://maximummathematics.com/books/foundational-mathematics/set-theory/proof-technique-element-arguments/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
