Comment on How to Solve It (1945)

Comments

this may work for simple problems. i have found it's more like:

1. study extensive background/prior art

2. have major epiphany to solve problem

3. try to get around inevitable roadblocks and complications during the process of solving it

You should read the book. It fills in about 100 more steps/options around those 3 general steps.

Getting from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3 is the aim of the book
