How to Solve It

Comecei a ler porque este livro, apesar do teor extremamente matemático, é indicado por muitos como contendo técnicas que podem ser aplicadas à resolução de problemas de modo geral. Alguns trechos são de fato interessantes, mas o livro não possui nada de excepcional.

A quick pamphlet distilling a heuristic-based approach to solving math and practical problems (but mostly math) by asking/answering a series of general questions ("what is unknown? does this problem look like something else I know how to solve? does my plan / answer make use of all the data provided?" etc) useful for both teachers to guide students to finding solutions themselves and for self-directed validation. In part a defense (in 1944) of using heuristic / encouraging validated guesses at all, rather than emphasizing rigorous approaches only.
