Mathematics Education and Technology-Rethinking the Terrain revisits the important 1985 ICMI Study on the influence of computers and informatics on mathematics and its teaching. The focus of this book, resulting from the seventeenth Study led by ICMI, is the use of digital technologies in mathematics teaching and learning in countries across the world. Specifically, it focuses on cultural diversity and how this diversity impinges on the use of digital technologies in mathematics teaching and learning.

What this books is, is a systematic and incredibly instructive overview of guidelines in mathematical problem solving, which are, as the author put it - 'natural, simple, obvious, and proceed from plain common sense.' If you've ever put yourself against a serious problem which you really, really, really wanted to have solved, the book probably won't teach you anything that you didn't know already. However, I have to say it twice, the book is written in a style so instructive that I'm pretty sure just about anybody could benefit from it.Georg concert amazed retain his indecisive.

Backlinks; Source; Print; Export (PDF) Libro de George Polya Como Plantear y Resolver Problemas.In my opinion, this is definitely one of those books that every mathematician and everyone using mathematics (or even dealing with difficult problems of non-mathematical nature) should read and even perhaps have one lying around.
Just in case you feel like solving the Riemann hypothesis:P (or something wee bit easier for that matter XD). 's classic is a seminal work in mathematics education. Written in 1945 and referenced in almost every math education text related to problem solving I've ever read, this book is a short exploration of the general heuristic for solving mathematical problems.

Written in 1945 and referenced in almost every math education text related to problem solving I've ever read, this book is a short exploration of the general heuristic for solving mathematical problems.While the writing is a bit clunky (Polya was a mathematician and English was not his first language), the ideas are so deeply useful that they continue to have relevance not just for solving mathematical problems, but for solving any problem in any field. Polya's general steps for solving problems include the following four steps: 1. Understand the problem, 2.
Devise a plan, 3. Carry out the plan, and 4.Look back and examine the solution. These are simple and easy to remember steps, but powerful in their applicability to the most basic to the most complex problems that we face and are at the heart of learning. Over the years, different writers have revised these steps (added, taken away, shifted the wording and emphasis) the essential points still hold. In addition, to the overall framework of Polya's heuristic and its generalizable nature, what I really like about this work is the fact that I can revisit it for nuggets of wisdom.The third section and roughly half of the book is taken up with 'A Short Dictionary of Heuristic' which is a great resource.
Each entry is a short essay on a given topic that weighs on either the nature of problem solving or the history of problem solving. One useful framework, that I took away immediately is the difference between 'Problems to Solve' and 'Problems to Prove.' Making a distinction between these two types of problems it is easy to see that we often focus in education on problems to solve, but I and many students love finding out why (problems to prove). So that said, I think this is a book that I will come back to and reference: a true classic in the educational literature. Polya tries to explain how to become a better 'problem solver', and how to guide others to better solve problems themselves. The core of the content is terrific, and gets you thinking about 'how to best think'.
Unfortunately, almost everything gets repeated numerous times, and as a whole the books ends up being thoroughly redundant. You don't really need to read beyond the first 36 pages (the rest of the book consists of a 'problem solving dictionary', and here's where the redundancy begins).The Polya tries to explain how to become a better 'problem solver', and how to guide others to better solve problems themselves.

You don't really need to read beyond the first 36 pages (the rest of the book consists of a 'problem solving dictionary', and here's where the redundancy begins).The problems in the back, presented to test your polished problem solving skills, are pretty awesome - definitely try to solve them yourself! One of my favorites: 'A bear, starting at point P, walked one mile due south.
Then he changed direction and walked one mile due east. Then he turned again to the left and walked one mile due north, and arrived exactly at the point P he start from.What was the color of the bear?' And no, this isn't a trick question - the answer makes perfect sense! I recently finished reading How To Solve It - A New Aspect Of Mathematical Method - by George Polya. Below are key excerpts from this book that I found particularly insightful: A great discovery solves a great problem but there is a grain of discovery in the solution of any problem.Your problem may be modest; but if it challenges your curiosity and brings into play your inventive faculties, and if you solve it by your own means, you may experience the tension and enjoy the triumph of discovery. I recently finished reading How To Solve It - A New Aspect Of Mathematical Method - by George Polya.
Below are key excerpts from this book that I found particularly insightful: A great discovery solves a great problem but there is a grain of discovery in the solution of any problem. Your problem may be modest; but if it challenges your curiosity and brings into play your inventive faculties, and if you solve it by your own means, you may experience the tension and enjoy the triumph of discovery.Such experiences at a susceptible age may create a taste for mental work and leave their imprint on mind and character for a lifetime. Studying the methods of solving problems, we perceive another face of mathematics. Yes, mathematics has two faces; it is the rigorous science of Euclid but it is also something else. Mathematics presented in the Euclidean way appears as a systematic, deductive science; but mathematics in the making appears as an experimental, inductive science. Both aspects are as old as the science of mathematics itself. But the second aspect is new in one respect; mathematics 'in statu nascendi,' in the process of being invented, has never before been presented in quite this manner to the student, or to the teacher himself, or to the general public.Trying to find the solution, we may repeatedly change our point of view, our way of looking at the problem.
We have to shift our position again and again. Our conception of the problem is likely to be rather incomplete when we start the work; our outlook is different when we have made some progress; it is again different when we have almost obtained the solution. Where should I start? Start from the statement of the problem.
What can I dot Visualize the problem as a whole as clearly and as vividly as you can. Do not concern yourself with details for the moment.What can I gain by doing so? You should understand the problem, familiarize yourself with it, impress its purpose on your mind. The attention bestowed on the problem may also stimulate your memory and prepare for the recollection of relevant points. It would be a mistake to think that solving problems is a purely 'intellectual affair'; determination and emotions play an important role.Lukewarm determination and sleepy consent to do a little something may be enough for a routine problem in the classroom. But, to solve a serious scientific problem, will power is needed that can outlast years of toil and bitter disappointments. If you cannot solve the proposed problem do not let this failure afflict you too much but try to find consolation with some easier success, try to solve first some related problem; then you may find courage to attack your original problem again.Do not forget that human superiority consists in going around an obstacle that cannot be overcome directly, in devising some suitable auxiliary problem when the original one appears insoluble.
The future mathematician should be a clever problem-solver:; but to be a clever problem-solver is not enough.Due time, he should solve significant mathematical problems; and first he should find out for which kind of problems his native gift is particularly suited. In closing: Going around an obstacle is what we do in solving any kind of problem: the experiment has a sort of symbolic value. The hen acted like people who solve their problem muddling: through, trying again and again, and succeeding eventually by some lucky accident without much insight into the reasons for their success. The dog who scratched and jumped and barked before turning around solved his problem about as well as we did ours about the two containers. Imagining a scale that shows the waterline in our containers was a sort of almost useless scratching, showing only that what we seek lies deeper under the surface.We also tried to work forwards first, and came to the idea of turning round afterwards. The dog who, after brief inspection of the situation, turned round and dashed off gives, rightly or wrongly, the impression of superior insight.
No, we should not even blame the hen for her clumsiness. There is a certain difficulty in turning round, in going away from the goal, in proceeding without looking continually at the aim, in not following the direct path to the desired end.There is an obvious analogy between her difficulties and our difficulties. A highly recommended read in the area of problem solving.This is a book I wish I had read at the beginning of grad school.

How to Solve It is not as much about methods of solving mathematical problems as it is about various approaches to solving problems in general. The method he uses to teach problem solving is to apply the approaches to problems of geometry.This is actually in line with the ancient greek (Aristotle) opinion that the young should learn geometry first, then when they have learned logic and how to prove things with physical reality, then they can go on to things such as philosophy or politics. The first part of How to Solve It are essays on how to teach and how to approach problems in general. His view on teaching is leading a student to think.
Giving the student problems where the answer is not the goal, but the experience in seeing a new type of problem. This is contrasted with viewing teaching as a series of cookbook or algorithms to be taught.
It also means the role of the teacher is to provide the problem, then give only what is necessary to nudge the student in the direction needed for the student to discover the method of solution.And presumably, to be able to develop methods for other problems the student has not seen before. Very much like what graduate school is supposed to be. The bulk of How to Solve It describes a wide range of approaches to problem solving.Some are familiar to a variety of disciplines such as business, crisis management, or general analysis. Some are more familiar to those in sciences or mathematics. But the illustrations are understandable to anyone past a first or second year of high school mathematics, making them much more understandable then, say, a graduate course in real analysis.
If I was in the position of working with first year graduate students in anything, I would recommend this book as something to read before they arrive on campus.It provides a good first exposure to many problem-solving approaches and an exhortation on how to think logically and analytically, that will suit them well when they are faced with the complicated subject matter that is ahead of them. این کتاب ترجمه کار کلاسیک جرج پولیا: How to solve it هست. به نظرم شاید برای خوانندهای که هنوز چندان با مسئلههای ریاضی کلنجار نرفته خیلی جالب نباشه، اما برای معلمان ریاضی و کسانی به صورت جدیتر درگیر حل مسائل ریاضی هستند کتاب تامل برانگیز و آموزندهای هست که کمک میکنه با دید بازتر راهی که در حل مسائل میرند رو بازبینی کنند و نسبت به فرآیند حل مسئله خودآگاهتر بشند.این خودآگاهی و توصیههای راهیابانه کتاب میتونه به بهتر شدن مهارت حل مسئله افراد کمک کنه. این کتاب ترجمه کار کلاسیک جرج پولیا: How to solve it هست. به نظرم شاید برای خوانندهای که هنوز چندان با مسئلههای ریاضی کلنجار نرفته خیلی جالب نباشه، اما برای معلمان ریاضی و کسانی به صورت جدیتر درگیر حل مسائل ریاضی هستند کتاب تامل برانگیز و آموزندهای هست که کمک میکنه با دید بازتر راهی که در حل مسائل میرند رو بازبینی کنند و نسبت به فرآیند حل مسئله خودآگاهتر بشند.این خودآگاهی و توصیههای راهیابانه کتاب میتونه به بهتر شدن مهارت حل مسئله افراد کمک کنه. Elegance in solving problems is not strictly a mathematical skill set.
Polya wisely formats word problems, critical thinking problems, and yes mathematical problems that occasionally are intimidating. But one of the big takeaways is that problems are only as hard as they are unresolved.

But one of the big takeaways is that problems are only as hard as they are unresolved. Not only does Polya give excellent ideas for solving problems: creating auxiliary problems, using heuristics, working backwards.
Each example that Polya gives takes concentration and critical analysis. But when you decompress a problem into it's bare elements (variables, constants), the problem becomes manageable, even if not easily solvable.
Some of the big takeaways for me from this book are the following: 1) Always look from the end, trying to solve a problem 2) Problem Solving is: data + unknowns + conditions.Everything is in that. Generalizing a specific problem into that, is going to give you a better road map. 3) Always revisit a problem when you finish.It's not as important to get a correct answer, as it is to come to an understanding of what that problem is 4) Understanding the problem is the place to start. 5) Analogies help us to create similar problems, that we can then take those lessons and solve our original problem.
Polya's revelations remind me very much of a brain training book. The focus is mathematics, but the principles are universal. For those looking for a book both accessible and profound, it gets my highest recommendation.
This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

This book takes a simple, interesting approach and though it's written in the 40s, many benefits remain to-be-had from popularity outside its field. For me, beginning this book, I recalled how as an undergrad tutor for ESL students, our classroom utilized math word problems to bridge what was already an advanced proclivity for many of the Chinese students there - math - into the English language.In an American neighborhood where one could live a basically full-life with little knowledge of English, it gave cause for a leap. Here Polya uses words to bridge people into the world of mathematical concept, so often performed solely by numbers and symbols in its mechanics, we do not as often highlight the immense language of meaning signified within any method. And in a society where these mechanics can at times feel assumed and tiresomely already-done, it grants the charm of discovery and rediscovery and lends the value of everyday affirmation through exploration.

It's one of the best math books I've ever read, and quite possibly the best book on mathematical problem solving ever written.

Polya was a first rate mathematician, and his book is devoted to explaining simply and usefully how a good mathematician tries to solve math problems. It's organized as a list of strategies to use, or questions to ask during problem solving.There are sections, for instance, on 'drawing figures', and 'Do you know a related problem?' With examples, and detailed advice. It's short, engagingly written, witty, and easy to follow.
I cannot recommend it too highly to anyone who has to deal with mathematical problems (in science, engineering, or the like) on even an occasional basis. Hailed as the classic guide to problem solving, this book did quite a good job at categorizing the ways of looking at a problem, and some general methods of solving and treating them.
However, I think I read this at the wrong time - it could have fascinated me much more had I read it in the early 2000s (then again, there was not any translation to Vietnamese back then, and I suspect my mediocre English back then would not let me finish it).

Still, the way I went at the book is that I skimmed through most of it, only stopping at the particular instances I found new/ relevant/ interesting. I skipped a lot of the examples (I know, I know, I'm still feeling guilty about it!), regardless I found many good gems in the long stretch of text. The creator's paradox, for example, is something I've learned the hard way, but seeing it packed into a concept helped organize my thinking a lot.I would have given it a much higher rating as a middleschool to highschool student. I like the chapter at the end though.Fun questions. This book was used as a reference in several of the other books I have read, and I understood it to be more of a general methodology of problem solving when I decided to read it. It is written in a somewhat awkward style, to an audience that is difficult to discern, and with enough repetition that I had to skip pages at a time to get to the next topic. This was frustrating as I really wanted to like this book.

When Polya does focus on the generalized concepts of problem solving, he has wonderful insight. But that alone would fill less than five pages of the text. The level of pedantism regarding terminology here that I found boringly intolerable and eventually I dreaded picking the book back up because I got it already. Ultimately I failed to find in this book what has made it so successful. 'The List' is a great problem-solving approach, but that's just the pre-introduction page, and doesn't justify the remaining 253.
Good book by Polya, he explains the process used in solving and proving problems.My biggest problem with this book is that it's way to dense and also he should have used more mathematical equations and figures in some cases instead of a wall of text where you get easily lost. Some nice tables would also be good.I read it all and stopped in part IV which is where the book ends, and he gives you some problems with hints and solutions for you to solve.
