Comment on The Science of Problem Solving

Comments

It seems a lot like what the Russian Scientist Altshuller [1] did and modeled as TRIZ [2]

There is another one very useful scientist take on problem solving (more math related) : Mr. Polya [3]

Altshuller is amazing, I'm surprised he is known outside of Russia though.

Open Source TRIZ site has a collecion of freely available resourses on the methodology of inventive problem solving. http://www.opensourcetriz.com/main/page_ebooks.html

IIRC, GE runs workshops with TRIZ in all its R&D centres. Perhaps others too? But yes, that was the first time I heard about TRIZ too. :)
