Generalization: Generalization, such as generalizing from a sample to a population, is one type of inductive argument. Logicians sometimes describe inductive generalizations on a continuum from strong to weak: General principles underlie the specific situations or arguments under investigation.

Group theory: In mathematics, groups often arise as structures representing the set of possible symmetries of some object. We have been intentionally vague about the meaning of the terms symmetry and object. [87%] 2023-06-26
Group theory: Group theory is the study of mathematical groups, including their symmetries and permutations. It has applications in science, and has become one of the most active branches in all of mathematics in the 20th century. [87%] 2023-03-13 [Algebra]

Group theory: In abstract algebra, group theory studies the algebraic structures known as groups. The concept of a group is central to abstract algebra: other well-known algebraic structures, such as rings, fields, and vector spaces, can all be seen as groups ...

Generic Generalizations: Generics are statements such as “tigers are striped”, “a duck lays eggs”, “the dodo is extinct”, and “ticks carry Lyme disease”. Generics express generalizations, but unlike quantified statements, generics do not carry information about how many members of the kind ... (Philosophy) [76%] 2022-02-22
