«How to become a better problem solver». After a long time of teaching mathematics, and while trying to find an answer to the above question, I came to the conclusion that we have difficulties not only with the problems we deal with but also with our own mind and our way of thinking.
Unjustified phobias, indecision in generating ideas, mind blockage, loops in thought: all these obstacles intermingle and do not allow us to give our best effort. The presence of these difficulties is not only related to mathematical problems but is also so common to other fields where problems do appear in a daily basis of our life.
Here we shall present two methods that help people to generate more ideas for the solution of problems.
In this book you can read some comments, concerning the initial form of the methods, made by professors who have worked on problem solving. You can also read comments for the final form of the methods, as they will be presented here, applying Aristotle’s categories.
