Hypotheses!

**II. Assignment** 1. Check the following links and explain what deductive reasoning is and inductive reasoning is. [] []

=== Deductive reasoning is the set of logical ideas, which are able to build a strong argument to conclude and give explanation to situations that require analysis and thought of ideas to resolve them. Otherwise, inductive reasoning instead of generating conclusions directly, its lets the facts defining the conclusions in themselves, as they occur. ===

2. Please visit the following page and read the text ** "Geometrical proportions of the Egyptian Pyramids" ** then find and extract the hypotheses in it. There are 6 hypotheses in the text extract 5 and explain how you found them. [|Geometrical proportions of the Egyptian Pyramids.doc]

===** //(*) I can not result the detailed analysis of all Egyptian Pyramids and consequently I bring the description only for pyramid of Cheops as this pyramid the most significant. But nevertheless the analysis of geometrical proportions of other Egyptian Pyramids can be made in comparison with pyramid of Cheops.// **===

=== (*) I think that the size of the Egyptian cubit is equal to 466 millimeters that is taken from sources of the information which the authentic from my point of view, as it is anthropometrical size of a human "elbow" (forearm + palm + fingers). ===

===** //(*) Probably, the concrete ratio of diameters of a living circle in the geometrical drawing of the Cheops' pyramid has other sizes about which I can not tell anything certain as more exact calculations are necessary for this purpose.// **===

===** //(*) It is possible to assume, that the ratio of diameters of a living circle in the geometrical drawing of the Cheops' pyramid turns out as a result of transformation of the living circle when size of the line TA is precisely equal to size of lines CE, DF, LJ, MK.// **===

=== (*) If exact geometrical calculations are not required, then it is possible to count that approximately the cubit is equal to the side of a correct diheptagon which is entered within the framework of a correct circle. ===

===> I found those hypotheses seeing modal verbs or key words presents on each extract, like "It is possible", “Can be made”, “I think” or “Probably”. And because if you read all of them you will note that they try to explain something using logic for connect arguments and reasoning them. <===

3. Look for any mathematical hypothesis and put it in your wiki. Please make sure you cite the source properly so that you do not commit plagiarism. Explain whether the hypothesis you are explaining is deductive or inductive and give reasons to your explanation.

Riemann hypothesis ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_hypothesis)
" In mathematics, the ** Riemann hypothesis **, proposed by Bernhard Riemann (1859), is a conjecture about the distribution of the zeros of theRiemann zeta-function which states that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function have real part 1/2. The name is also used for some closely related analogues, such as the Riemann hypothesis for curves over finite fields..."

=== I think It is inductive reasoning because Riemann takes a set of facts as the distribution of prime numbers and other mathematical facts to make his hypothesis ===
