Inductive Reasoning

Inductive reasoning usually called generalization, we given by some examples and try to make generalization from those examples to arrive at our conclusion.

For example you can write the number of factor of each number from 1 to 25. And you will only find that only the quadratic number that has odd number of factor. (4 has 3 factors, 9 has 3 factors, 16 has 5 factors, 25 has 3 factor). Then you extend your sample to 1000 for example, and find the same observation, you then conclude that only quadratic number will have odd number of factor.

in Geometry this inductive reasoning has some weakness :

1. Measurement in geometry can not be done precisely, result is only approximate
2. Each sample should be took care carefully, we need to examine every possibility from the sample
3. We do not give / can not give explanation why conclusion are true, the result comes from our observation through samples

but however, this inductive reasoning is a powerful tool in discovering and making conjecture.

the result of inductive reasoning is called conjecture, it is true conclusion that we draw but we can not give any explanation why the conclusion is true, the result in only probably true.

counterexample is any sample that we can use to prove that generalization taken by inductive reasoning is false

Reinstall Apache2 on Ubuntu

there is some problems when i want to reinstall apache2 through aptitude / package. when i try usual apt-get remove apache2 then apt-get install apache2 i always get this message

/etc/apache2/envvars: No such file or directory
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action “start” failed.

the message then says that its probably because you have deleted dir apache2. the problem is on apache2.2-common, but simple apt-get remove or dpkg –purge wont work, mostly because thera still package dependencies that prevent the package from deletion. after googling sometime i find same post that has been solved by running this command :

[php]sudo apt-get remove –purge $(dpkg -l apache* | grep ii | awk ‘{print $2}’) && sudo apt-get install apache2[/php]

that command will aslo work for usual reinstall (reinstall without any problem before)
