The purpose of this book is to teach the basic principles of problem solving. This includes both mathematical problems and nonmathematical problems. It should help students to: translate verbal discussions into analytical data, learn problem-solving methods for attacking collections of analytical questions or data, and more.
...the subject of problem solving, as viewed by this author, is more than just a disconnected list of brain teasers and recreations. It is a way of life. Scientists of every stripe -- chemists, physicists, psychologists, social engineers, and many others
