Who created the scientific method and using inductive reasoning

Aristotle pioneered scientific method in ancient Greece alongside his empirical biology and his work on logic, rejecting a purely deductive framework in favour of generalisations made from observations of nature.

The scientific method can be applied to almost all fields of study as a logical, rational, problem-solving method. Sir Francis BaconSir Francis Bacon (1561–1626) is credited with being the first to define the scientific method.

  Francis Bacon was the first to formalize the concept of a true scientific method, but he didn't do so in a vacuum. The work of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) and Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) influenced Bacon tremendously.

  The origin of modern scientific method occurred in Europe in the 1600s: involving  a chain of research events from Copernicus to Newton, which resulted  in the gravitational model of the solar system, and  the theory of Newtonian physics to express the model.

Inductive reasoning is a type of logical thinking that involves forming generalizations based on specific incidents you've experienced, observations you've made, or facts you know to be true or false. Deductive reasoning means making a specific statement based on a general principle. Scientific method is a process consisting of making observations, developing a hypothesis, and testing that hypothesis.

Induction (inductio in Latin, epagoge in Greek) goes back through Cicero to Aristotle, who said he got it from Socrates. And Aristotle said that what induction is, is obvious. He said it is a progression from particulars to universal.
