2. Also inductive reasoning, probably justified. 3. Deductive logic (an absolute claim) not well justified. No matter what theorythe Daily Mail supports 4. Also deductive and not well jusified. 5. Inductive argument which is not well jsutified, hard peices take longer to learn. I'll post this now, but will have another think about my answers. What type of reasoning does a mathematical proof use? Deductive reasoning In mathematics, a proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement. Deductive reasoning, unlike inductive reasoning, is a valid form of proof. It is, in fact, the way in which geometric proofs are written. Through deductive reasoning, Holmes uses minute details from a crime scene to create a logical, evidence-based hypothesis. He then uses inductive reasoning by using criminal, scientific, or medical When a guest leaves his walking stick behind, Holmes (with Watson, this time!) makes several conjectures about its owner; here both deductive and inductive methods of reasoning are used: Inductive: Many NLP Practitioners are more sloppy with their thinking patterns, than they'd like to admit, or would even notice. This statement, right up front, is likely blasphemous. And yet, it's probably true -- in spite of our best intentions. Because the model of NLP does not spend much time covering two fundamentally different styles of thinking, of cognitive processing. Formal Versus Informal Logic - Deductive Versus Inductive Forms of Reasoning - [13 slides] somewhat advanced, good explanation of each type of reasoning ; House and Holmes: A Guide to Deductive and Inductive Reasoning - Lesson plan to designed distinguish between deductive and inductive arguments, and to have students construct and analyze deductive arguments and produce and evaluate inductive arguments - links to several attachments provided [This expired link is available through the Second, don't jump to the conclusion that every argument with true premises and a true conclusion is valid. Suppose I more or less indiscriminately take four sentences that everyone would agree are true: 1. George Washington was the first president of the United States. 2. Triangles have three sides. 3. Three plus one equals four. 4. Then tell whether each argument is an example of inductive or deductive reasoning. (a) Our house is made of redwood. Both of my next-door neighbors have red- wood houses. Therefore, all houses in our neighborhood are made of redwood. The premises are "Our house is made of redwood" and "Both of my next-door neighbors have redwood houses." Answer: d: Deductive reasoning An inductive approach starts with examples and asks learners to find rules Inductive reasoning moves from specific to general Inductive reasoning moves from specific to general.
