In Example 2.52 why didn't we include the odd integers between 2 and 26?
Suppose that we start with the universe that comprises only the 13 integers 2, 4, 6, 8,..., 24, 26. Then we can establish the statement:
For all n (meaning n = 2, 4, 6, ... , 26),
we can write n as the sum of at most three perfect squares.
The results in Table 2.24 provide a case-by-case verification showing the given (quantified) statement to be true. (We might call this statement a theorem.)
