1	How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method more books like this by Gyorgy Polya, George Polya add to wishlist This perennial best seller was written by an eminent mathematician, but it is a book for the general reader on how to think straight in any field. In lucid and appealing prose, it shows how the mathematical method of demonstrating a proof or finding an unknown can be of help in attacking any problem that can be "reasoned" outfrom building a bridge ... see all copies from $2.68! new only from $39.86! \| first editions \| SVS
2	Mathematical Methods in Science more books like this by George Polya add to wishlist a --E Mathematics, taught and learned appropriately, improves the mind and implants good habits of thought.a -- This tenet underlies all of Professor Polyaa -- s works on teaching and problem-solving. This book captures some of Polyaa -- s excitement and vision. In it he provides enlightenment for all those who have ever wondered how the laws ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $43.36!
3	Mathematical Discovery more books like this by George Polya add to wishlist Combining standard Volumes I and II into one soft cover edition, this helpful book explains how to solve mathematical problems in a clear, step-by-step progression.

Marked by G. Polya's simple, energetic prose and use of clever examples from a wide range of human activities, this two-volume work explores techniques of guessing, inductive reasoning, and reasoning by analogy, and the role they play in the most rigorous of deductive ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $24.24! \| first editions \| SVS
5	Problems and Theorems in Analysis I: Series. Integral Calculus. Theory of Functions more books like this by George Polya add to wishlist From the reviews: "The work is one of the real classics of this century; it has had much influence on teaching, on research in several branches of hard analysis, particularly complex function theory, and it has been an essential indispensable source book for those seriously interested in mathematical problems.
