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."
(不知道为什么中文版没有这篇前言。中间有一段Polya的生平这里省略了,有兴趣的可以自己谷歌一下。) "How to Solve It" is a wonderful book! This I realized when I first read right through it as a student many years ago, but it has taken me a long time to apprec...
评分做了个思维导图,相当于解决难题的checklist吧。 checklist有教条的嫌疑,但是教条之所以是教条就是因为教条具有价值。对教条主义的批判,应该是执行教条中的僵硬和肤浅,而不是教条本身。 这种思考流程几乎对所有的问题有用,而不仅仅是数学题目。只是对不同的问题,可能有不...
评分这是一本名著,优点就不说了。我觉得不太好的地方有: 1. 刚开始读的时候还没注意,后来发现怎么重复的内容翻来覆去的说,而且第三部分的条目一点前后逻辑性都没有。后来看了引言,才发现这部分确实就是词典,按照条目英文字典序排列。不太喜欢这种形式。 2. 例子比较少而且初...
评分我的数学一直挺烂。从高中起我就一直迷惑:那些数学家们,他们当年解那些题目的时候,到底怎么想出来的?为什么他们会那么想? 看了《怎样解题》,这种疑惑才真正得到冰释。数学家们也不都是天马行空或是鬼神附体,解决问题还是有一定的方法。而且个人认为,这...
评分这本书无疑值得任何一个想提升解题能力的人来阅读,我甚至觉得,我们能在这本书上找到一些解决问题的普遍原则,这些问题并不单指数学问题,我觉得还包括怎样学习&怎样解决生活中的问题。 在书的最开头,作者列出了解题步骤的简单表,我觉得这是这本书最有价值的地方。每个读这...
只能说大体上通读了一遍,对作者量化问题提出的通用解法印象深刻,虽然不是很确定是不是真的是否可以推广到更宽的范畴中,但至少有了一个很明晰的思路,醍醐灌顶
评分史上最经典数学解体教科书,中国数学老师,中国上亿学生最应该看的辅导书。
评分绝好的内功心法
评分When to give up on a hard math problem? - NEVER. (T.T)
评分not only useful for problem solving but also for teaching made so many mistakes mentioned in the book
