How to Solve It - George Pólya

This title presents a demonstration of how the true mathematician learns to draw unexpected analogies, tackle problems from unusual angles and extract a little more information from the data. It is a collection of truly practical lessons.

'A superb book on how to think fresh thoughts... A walk inside Pólya's mind as he builds up maxims on how to comprehend a problem, how to build up a strategy, and then how to test it' - David Bodanis, Guardian 

'Everyone should know the work of George Pólya on how to solve problems' - Marvin Minsk
