A mathematical proof is a deductive argument that uses axioms, theorems and accepted rules of inference to logically guarantee a conclusion. It must demonstrate that the statement is true in all possible cases, rather than just presenting many cases in which it holds. Proofs employ logic expressed in both mathematical symbols and natural language, and are studied in proof theory and the philosophy of mathematics.
