Section 2.1

Section 2.1 is about Conjectures and inductive reasoning. A conjecture is an educated guess based on known information. It is like a hypothesis. Inductive reasoning is reasoning that uses a number of specific examples to arrive at a plausible generalization or prediction. An example of a conjecture is if you were given the numbers 2,4,6,8,10. Then you were asked what number would come next. You could guess that 12 would come next. This is also an example of inductive reasoning. A counterexample is an example that you can use to prove that a conjecture is wrong. This is what section 2.1 was about.
