Mathematics is also called the science of reasoning. Reasoning in mathematics is of two main types i) inductive reasoning and ii) deductive reasoning.
Inductive reasoning is a kind of reasoning when statements containing mathematical truths that are based on observations and experiences where we argue that a particular property is true in a number of cases than it will be true in all other similar cases.
Whereas deductive reasoning is a type of reasoning that is based on certain postulates or axioms and we try to compare and contrast with various statements and then draw the conclusions from such a comparison.
