Introduction
Prove the following by using the principle of mathematical induction for all $n \in \mathbf{N}$. $$ \left(1+\frac{1}{1}\right)\left(1+\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(1+\frac{1}{3}\right) \ldots\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)=(n+1) $$
Prove the following by using the principle of mathematical induction for all $n \in \mathbf{N}$. $$ \frac{1}{1.2 .3}+\frac{1}{2.3 .4}+\frac{1}{3.4 .5}+\ldots+\frac{1}{n(n+1)(n+2)}=\frac{n(n+3)}{4(n+1)(n+2)} $$
