1	How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method more books like this by Gyorgy Polya, George Polya 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 $1.99! new only from $10.00! \| first editions
2	How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method more books like this by George Polya In lucid and appealing prose, Polya reveals how the mathematical method of demonstrating a proof or finding an unknown can help solve any problem--from building a bridge to winning a game of anagrams. see all copies from $6.00! new only from $12.43! \| SVS
3	How to solve it. more books like this by George Polya An introduction to heuristics, the study of the methods and rules of discovery, invention and human problem-solving.

4	Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning, Volume 2: Patterns of Plausible Inference more books like this by Gyorgy Polya, George Polya Here the author of "How to Solve It" explains how to become a "good guesser." 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 $3.00! new only from $9.49! \| first editions \| SVS

Geometry more books like this by George Polya, Gabor Szegv, Gabor Szega "...In the past, more of the leading mathematicians proposed and solved problems than today, and there were problem departments in many journals. Polya and Szego must have combed all of the large problem literature from about 1850 to 1925 for their material, and their collection of the best in analysis is a heritage of lasting value.
