This book contains no magic, no tricks. It's not one of those "esoteric knowledge revealed" books nor a book which promises you'll get an Abel prize or a Fields Medal someday. What this books is, is a systematic and incredibly instructive overview of guidelines in mathematical problem solving, which Leggi tutto
This is one of those mathematical "classics" that those of us with a training in math are supposed to love. Fact of the matter is that it is poorly written and pedestrian in nature. If you are seeking insight into how mathematicians think and approach problem-solving, give this one a miss. You'd be
Polya tries to explain how to become a better 'problem solver', and how to guide others to better solve problems themselves. The core of the content is terrific, and gets you thinking about 'how to best think'. Unfortunately, almost everything gets repeated numerous times, and as a whole the books en Leggi tutto
I recently finished reading How To Solve It - A New Aspect Of Mathematical Method - by George Polya. Below are key excerpts from this book that I found particularly insightful: A great discovery solves a great problem but there is a grain of discovery in the solution of any problem. Your problem may Leggi tutto
