I haven't learned first-order logic in a systematic way.

Question. What is the correct way to write in first-order formulas correctly the following statement?

For any natural number $n$, $P(n)$ is true.


Two candidate I come up with are the following:

  • $\forall n$ $(n\in{\bf N}\to P(n))$
  • $\forall (n\in{\bf N})P(n)$

The second one can not be right according to the instruction in this Wikipedia article. However, it is also used in another article.
