The logic behind mathematical induction is present in various
academic fields such as biology, chemistry, philosophy, economics,
and politics.
Example of Biology: Paradox of enrichment: Increasing the food
available to an ecosystem may lead to instability, and even to
extinction.
Example of Chemistry: Faraday paradox (electrochemistry): Diluted
nitric acid will corrode steel, while concentrated nitric acid
doesn't.
Example of Philosophy: Chicken or the egg: Which came first, the
chicken or the egg?
Example of Economics: Diamond-water paradox (or paradox of value)
Water is more useful than diamonds, yet is a lot cheaper.
Example of Politics: Stability-instability paradox: When two
countries each have nuclear weapons, the probability of a direct
war between them greatly decreases, but the probability of minor or
indirect conflicts between them increases.
These are several examples.
