Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia/dictionary

Abstract

According to commonly accepted notions, deductive reasoning is the process of inferring conclusions from known information (premises) based on formal logic rules, where conclusions are necessarily derived from the given information and there is no need to validate them by experiments. Deductive reasoning can be contrasted with inductive reasoning, in which premises provide probable, not necessary, evidence for conclusions.
