Introduction (2 mins)
Inductive and deductive reasoning are two fundamental forms of reasoning for mathematicians. The
forms of theorems and proofs that we ely on today all began with these two types of reasoning. Even today,
‘matnematicins are actively using these two Iypes of reasoring lo discover new mathematical theorems
{nd proofs. Dis you notice atthe patterns in nature are all arranged logically? Believe itor not, you yourself
‘might be Using inductive and deductive reasoning when you make assumptions about how the word works.

Part 3. Given in inductive or deductive arguments. Rewrite each argument from inductive to deductive
reasoning approach or vise versa. (The first two are done for you and serve as examples.)

1), Is scientific method uses deductive or inductive?
‘The scentife methos uses deduction fo test hypotheses and theories. “in deductive inference, we hold
2 theory and based on itwe make a prediction of ts consequences, Tht is, we predic! what tne
‘observations shouldbe if the theory were correct. Wie go from the general — the theory — lo the
‘spectfo — the observations,” said Dr. Syvia Wasserthel-Smolle, a researcher and professor emerta
at Aber Einstein College of Medicine,
Inductive reasoning has is place in the scientfic method. Scientists use ito form hypotheses and
theories. Deductve reasoning allows them to apply the theories to specific stuations
2) Why is deductive reasoning stronger than inductive?
Deductve reasoning is stronger han inductive reasoning because It A. draws conclusions based on
premises everyone can agree on
3) Is deductive reasoning always tue?
‘A property consircted deductive argument is ahvays logically" right, but that doesnt mean it
‘nevessanly results in truthful conclusion... To be logically vali. the conclusion must flow
‘nezessariy from the premises. to be sound, however, he premises must actually be true in the fest
place.
