How to Solve It

A New Aspect of Mathematical Method
by: G. Polya
Summary:

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.

Key points:

1. Understand the Problem: Polya emphasizes the need to fully comprehend the problem by identifying unknowns, data, and conditions.
