How To Solve It

George Polya's 1945 book How to Solve It is a small volume describing methods of problem-solving. It suggests the following steps when solving a mathematical problem:
  1. First, you have to understand the problem.
  2. After understanding, then make a plan.
  3. Carry out the plan.
  4. Look back on your work. How could it be better?
His book contains a dictionary-style set of strategies, but is not a cook-book.
