Synopsis
Winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Award for 1997! The purpose of this book is to teach the basic principles of problem solving, including both mathematical and nonmathematical problems. This book will help students to ... translate verbal discussions into analytical data. learn problem-solving methods for attacking collections of analytical questions or data. build a personal arsenal of internalized problem-solving techniques and solutions. become "armed problem solvers", ready to do battle with a variety of puzzles in different areas of life. Taking a direct and practical approach to the subject matter, Krantz's book stands apart from others like it in that it incorporates exercises throughout the text. After many solved problems are given, a "Challenge Problem" is presented. Additional problems are included for readers to tackle at the end of each chapter. There are more than 350 problems in all. This book won the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Award for 1997. A Solutions Manual to most end-of-chapter exercises is available.

Review
"Krantz has collected a thoroughly engaging arsenal of problems and problem-solving techniques. Most scientists will want to have a copy for personal reference and for the mental stimulation that it provides. It is well written in a style that encourages the reader to become actively involved ... a myriad of fascinating related problems are provided. After a delightful introductory chapter, the chapters are primarily organized around specific techniques and their applicability in areas such as geometry, logic, recreational math, and counting. The book is written in a linear fashion that makes it advisable to tackle problems in sequential order ... would be an excellent tool for teaching novices to read some mathematics." ---- CHOICE Magazine
