Synopsis:
The definitive guide to mathematical problem solving, from one of the great teachers of the twentieth century
George Pólya''s perennial bestseller has inspired generations around the world to think more clearly. Brilliantly showing how ''there is a grain of discovery in the solution of any problem'', his strategies for mathematical problem-solving - from finding weak points to squeezing the data - will help get to the bottom of any puzzle.
''A superb book on how to think fresh thoughts ... A walk inside Pólya''s mind as he builds up maxims on how to comprehend a problem, how to build up a strategy, and then how to test it'' David Bodanis, Guardian
''Everyone should know the work of George Polya on how to solve problems'' Marvin Minsky
''A classic ... It is the outcome of careful and informed deliberation by one of the great teachers among the ranks of research mathematicians'' Ian Stewart, author of Does God Play Dice?
''Every prospective teacher should read it'' E. T. Bell
About the Author: George Polya (1887-1985) was a Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The defintive guide to mathemathical problem solving from one of the great teachers of the twentieth centuryHow to Solve It offers something unique- a tried and tested set of strategies for overcoming any maths dilemma. Based on decades of analysis of the methods and rules of problem solving and invention, acclaimed mathematician George P lya's approach brilliantly demonstrates how to create useful analogies, tackle problems from unusual angles and how to squeeze a little more information from the data. While maths can often seem nothing more than a process of dry deduction, P lya wonderfully conveys the challenge and excitement at the heart of any problem, and lays out the blueprint for unpicking the riddles they pose.With more than a million copies sold around the world, How to Solve It has inspired generations of teachers and students to look afresh at maths - and continues to be the definitive guide to mathematical problem solving. A collection of practical lessons that demonstrates how the true mathematician learns to draw unexpected analogies, tackle problems from unusual angles, and extract information from the data.
