Ok, I can work within integers for awhile! I was trying to use the general
form of the geometric progression that may involve fractions, but I can
explore whole numbers more first. I see the "induction_thm" won't work
with R anyway since it has the base case as 0 and SML would expect 0.0
there for domain R (at least that is what I am seeing so far in trying to
open_theory R and apply the thm).
I am trying wrk074 however open_theory "fincomb" fails so I need to find
out how to load that as pre-requisite.
