Inductive reasoning is a type of argument that takes simple facts and uses them to lead up to more complex truths. One example of this is in my calculus class where we learn why a certain theory is true by building it from basic facts we know about the problem.
Deductive reasoning occurs when a specific assumption can be created by deducing from a more broad theory.In mathematics, proofs are an example of deductive reasoning, where a theory is broken down until many true statements about it are discovered.
