How To Solve It by George Pólya
A New Aspect of Mathematical Method
A concise guide to mathematical problem-solving that presents a clear four-step approach—understand the problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan, and look back—and a toolbox of heuristics such as simplifying, drawing diagrams, trying special cases, working backwards, and using analogies; it focuses on cultivating habits of thought, intuition, and reflection through practical examples and questions so readers learn how to approach unfamiliar problems creatively and effectively.
