In an indirect proof, we do not directly prove that a given statement is true, but show that are false.
Indirect proofs the negative, or , of the proof to be solved.

In general the order of the steps matter. One step needs to follow logically from the other. Think about the problem of getting dressed in the morning: Step 1: put on your underwear. Step 2: put on your pants. Order matters.
