### Principle of Mathematical Induction (Theorem 17)

**(a) State the Principle of Mathematical Induction:**

Let \( n_0 \in \mathbb{N} \) and \( S \subseteq \{ n \in \mathbb{N} \mid n \geq n_0 \} \) that satisfies these conditions:
1. \( n_0 \in S \)
2. \( \forall k \in \mathbb{N} \) with \( k \geq n_0 \): if \( k \in S \), then \( k+1 \in S \).

   If \( m \in S \forall n_0 \leq m \leq k \), then \( k+1 \in S \).

**(b) Prove the Principle of Mathematical Induction (Theorem 17) using the Least Number Principle.** 

(Note: The section marked as (b) is partially obscured and is not fully visible.)
