My textbook provides the following proof that giving the sum of the first n odd numbers is equal to n2 then it is true for all n.
I don't understand the part where it "adds 2k+1 to both sides" and ends up with (k+1)2.
I looked up another proof of the same problem that made a lot more sense to me, hoping it would help me understand the first one but I still don't know how to square what I'm seeing in my textbook.
