Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Inductive Arguments.

An inductive argument is a form of argument in which, if all the premises are true, the conclusion is probably true, but might not be.

Such lines of reasoning are ubiquitous in everyday life and in most human endeavors.


However, inductive arguments are only conjectures in the field of mathematics.

Such arguments are not truth preserving and therefore they are not proofs.
