Deductive reasoning goes in the same direction as that of the conditionals, and links premises with conclusions. If all premises are true, the terms are clear, and the rules of deductive logic are followed, then the conclusion reached is necessarily true. Deductive reasoning (""top-down logic"") contrasts with inductive reasoning (""bottom-up logic"") in the following way; in deductive reasoning, a conclusion is reached reductively by applying general rules which hold over the entirety of a
More Maths Grads More Maths Grads More Maths Grads was a three-year project run from 2007 to 2010 by a consortium of British mathematics organisations, including the London Mathematical Society, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the Royal Statistical Society, the Maths, Stats & OR Network and HoDoMS, the Heads of Departments of Mathematical Sciences. Funding of £3.3M was provided by the Higher Education Funding Council for England. The project aimed to develop, test and evaluate means of increasing the number of students studying mathematics and to encourage participation from groups of learners not well represented in higher education. It was administered
