5.0 out of 5 stars The classic on HOW to approach maths problems, 13 Jun 2001
By C. R. Long "clive_long" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If ever I get stuck trying to approach a novel problem, I dip into Polya. His heuristic method has much wider applicability than just mathematics.

Buy this book for any young person who shows an interest in mathematics. I feel it will contribute to their mathematical development

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful introduction to problem solving., 22 Mar 2000
I have had a love affair with Mathematics for over forty-five years. This little book was one of the first books to awaken that interest - my edition on my bookshelf is dated 1957!

George Polya had the reputation of a very great teacher and inspirer of students of mathematics as well as making original contributions of his own. I recommend it to any young person (or anyone)as an excellent introduction to mathematical thinking.
