import NNG.Levels.Multiplication.Level_5 Game "NNG" World "Multiplication" Level 6 Title "succ_mul" open MyNat Introduction " We now begin our journey to `mul_comm`, the proof that `a * b = b * a`. We'll get there in level 8. Until we're there, it is frustrating but true that we cannot assume commutativity. We have `mul_succ` but we're going to need `succ_mul` (guess what it says -- maybe you are getting the hang of Lean's naming conventions). Remember also that we have tools like * `add_right_comm a b c : a + b + c = a + c + b` These things are the tools we need to slowly build up the results which we will need to do mathematics \"normally\". We also now have access to Lean's `simp` tactic, which will solve any goal which just needs a bunch of rewrites of `add_assoc` and `add_comm`. Use if you're getting lazy!
