1.0 PROBLEM SOLVING IN MATHEMATICS1.1 Problem Solving
 How to Solve It: A great discovery solves a great problem but there is a grain of discovery in the solutionof any problem. Your problem may be modest; but if it challenges your curiosity and brings into play your inventive facilities, and if you solve it by your own means, you mayexperience the tension and enjoy the triumph of discovery.

My early problem-solving courses focused on problems amenable to solutions by Polya-type heuristics: draw a diagram, examine special cases or analogies, specialize, generalize, and so on. Over the years the courses evolved to the point where they focused less on heuristics per se and more on introducing students to fundamental ideas: theimportance of mathematical reasoning and proof..., for example, and of sustained mathematical investigations (where my problems served as starting points for seriousexplorations, rather than tasks to be completed).
