A perennial bestseller by eminent mathematician G. Polya, "How to Solve It" will show anyone in any field how to think straight. In lucid and appealing prose, Polya reveals how the mathematical method of demonstrating a proof or finding an unknown can be of help in attacking any problem that can be "reasoned" out - from building a bridge to winning a game of anagrams. Generations of readers have relished Polya's deft - indeed, brilliant - instructions on stripping away irrelevancies and going straight to the heart of the problem. In this best-selling classic, George Polya revealed how the mathematical method of demonstrating a proof or finding an unknown can be of help in attacking any problem that can be "reasoned" out - from building a bridge to winning a game of anagrams.Generations of readers have relished Polya's deft instructions on stripping away irrelevancies and going straight to the heart of a problem. "How to Solve It" popularized heuristics, the art and science of discovery and invention. It has been in print continuously since 1945 and has been translated into twenty-three different languages. Polya was one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century. He made important contributions to a great variety of mathematical research: from complex analysis to mathematical physics, number theory, probability, geometry, astronomy, and combinatorics. He was also an extraordinary teacher - he taught until he was ninety - and maintained a strong interest in pedagogical matters throughout his long career.In addition to "How to Solve It", he published a two-volume work on the topic of problem solving, "Mathematics of Plausible Reasoning", also with Princeton. Polya is one of the most frequently quoted mathematicians, and the following statements from "How to Solve It" make clear why: "My method to overcome a difficulty is to go around it." "Geometry is the science of correct reasoning on incorrect figures." "In order to solve this differential equation you look at it till a solution occurs to you."

无论是小的思维方法, 还是有关数学和物理和工程的哲学上点到为止的讨论,都给人很多启发。薄薄一本,才是how-to书的集大成者。绝对值得结合实践反复阅读

以前老师问我,你怎么解出来的啊,我说灵感--其实不是,我从来没有把这些过程描述出来,这本书做到了,果然是大牛人啊:)

趁着最近做完毕设努力读书。小红书推荐来的。希望能在6月前看完。 读一半弃。没必要因为学方法论读完整本书。太花时间。

理解问题 设计思路 执行计划 反思拓展四阶段 启发包括能用符号文字少用数字 类比前例变换叙述角度 看大局不追求细节 从未知出发解决不了再从已知看看 决心随展望调整可以先追求小结果 有思路要重视不管对错都可利用过分执着会有害 绕过困难变换题目找对角度 进一步反思改进和拓展问题 最后的习题也十分醒脑😭

从未想过,会有人能够把数学思维的方法描述的如此细致和完整,随着个人阅历的增加,我越来越发现思考方法对于解决问题至关重要。为什么如此优秀的书籍未曾在我们的教育领域内推广昵?作为一个中年人,我关于数学的受教经历让我对数学的方法仍然停留在题海战术这种初级、事倍功半的方法上。
