14. Logic
• The term "logic" came from the Greek
word logos, which is sometimes translated as
"sentence", "discourse", "reason", "rule", and
"ratio". Of course, these translations are not
enough to help us understand the more
specialized meaning of "logic" as it is used today.

15. • logic as the study of the principles of correct
reasoning. This is a rough definition, because how
logic should be properly defined is actually quite a
controversial matter. However, for the purpose of
this tour, we thought it would be useful to give you
at least some rough idea as to the subject matter
that you will be studying..

16. Logic is a process for making a conclusion and a tool
you can use.
The foundation of a logical argument is
its proposition, or statement.
The proposition is either accurate (true) or not
accurate (false).
Premises are the propositions used to build the
argument.
The argument is then built on premises.
Then an inference is made from the premises.
Finally, a conclusion is drawn.

17. Deductive reasoning
Deductive reasoning provides complete evidence of
the truth of its conclusion. It uses a specific and
accurate premise that leads to a specific and accurate
conclusion. With correct premises, the conclusion to
this type of argument is verifiable and correct.
Premises: All squares are rectangles. All rectangles
have four sides.
Conclusion: All squares have four sides.
Premises: All people are mortal. You are a person.
Conclusion: You are mortal.
Premises: All trees have trunks. An oak tree is a tree.
Conclusion: The oak tree has a trunk.

18. Inductive reasoning is "bottom up,"
meaning that it takes specific information
and makes a broad generalization that is
considered probable, allowing for the fact
that the conclusion may not be accurate. This
type of reasoning usually involves a rule
being established based on a series of
repeated experiences
