How to Solve It
A New Aspect of Mathematical Method
G. Polya
The book presents a systematic approach to solving mathematical problems through a set of heuristics and strategies, encouraging readers to develop a deeper understanding of mathematics by teaching them to think like mathematicians. It outlines four basic principles of problem-solving—understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back—which can be applied to a wide range of mathematical challenges.
