kinds of logic
the mixture of inductive inferences and deductive inferences is fomalized as the scientific method.
scientific method
the pupose of the scientific method is to make sure that nature hasn't misled you into thinking you know something you don't actually know.
categories of the logical statements:
6. conclusions of the results of the experiments
in this step you state no more than the experiment has proven
5. observed results of the experiments
4. predicted results of the experiments
3. experiments designes to test each hypothesis
this part is the visual surface..this is the step where you test the hypothesis by putting a question to nature
2. hypothesis as a cause to the problem
1. statement of a problem
this step keeps you from taking a major wrong turn that might cause extra work in the future.
inductive inferences
definition: reasoning from particular experiences to general truths
deductive inferences
definition: it starts with general knowledge and predicts a specific observation
