This review is from: How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method (Paperback)
The issue is that solving problems is not made interesting and fulfilling experience.
This book beautifully explains the process of problem-solving. It starts from simple problems, lays down the fundamentals and leads to more complex problems.
One of the gems is the simple formula: 1. Understand the problem 2. Devise a plan (seeing how various items connect 3. Carry out the plan 4. Look back at the completed solution, review and discuss it.
It is also a good reference to teach kids how to approach problems.
Buy it and it will be a very handy reference.
