Induction and Deduction
From ResearchID.org
|
Introduction (?)
Induction and deduction are two distinct logical approaches to arriving at useful conclusions about the universe.
Induction starts with a set of premises that are assumed to be true and attempts to draw inescapable conclusions about any system matching these premises. Inductive reasoning is typified by mathematical logic.
Deduction starts with a set of known data and attempts to extrapolate from these data to more general statements about the universe. Deductive reasoning is typified by the Scientific Method

Notes (?)
--- ! Begin notes instructions ! ---
- How to use "wikified" citations Step-by-step:
- Where you want the citation to appear in the article, type in: {{ref|descriptionname}}, replacing 'descriptionname' with a unique name of the footnote.
- In the "Notes" section, type in: # {{note|descriptionname}}
- All of the notes under this section should be surrounded by these "div style" tags in order to make the text smaller:
- <div style="font-size: 90%">...Notes and citations here...</div>
- Be sure to remove the 'nowiki' tags all the way through, if they ended up in your wiki code.
- Use the citation and notation style of choice for the field, or the style that you would prefer use. Consistency within the article is the goal. If you want some ideas on style, check out Wikipedia's citation style examples.

Field(s) (?)
-- ! Begin Field(s) instructions ! ---
- Here at ResearchID.org, academic fields are arranged and organized into categories.
- List at least one category related to the study of Induction and Deduction. You can select them from the categories page or make a new category!
- For example, if I want this page to be listed in the "Biology" and "Astrobiology" category, I would type in:
[[Category:Biology]] [[Category:Astrobiology]]
- Be sure to remove the 'nowiki' tags and the three spaces before the opening tag. They are only added here in order to ensure they appear for demonstration purposes on the template page as regular text, and not as functioning category links.
- To make a new category, type in an unused category name in the above format.
- Once a category is properly added, a simple list of the categories will appear at the bottom of the research article.
- Learn more at the Help:Categories page.
