CH 13- Deductive Reasoning
Deductive reasoning is the process of starting with one or more statements called premises. Deduction is the study of formal logic, or the science of good reasoning. It is called formal because its main concern is with creating forms that serve as models to demonstrate both correct and incorrect reasoning. Reasoning draws conclusions, judgements, or inferences from facts or premises. Logic arranges deductive arguments in standardized forms called syllogisms, that make the structure of the argument clearly visible for study and review.
