Isoperimetric Inequalities in Mathematical Physics

A Guide to the Art of Plausible Reasoning. Patterns of plausible inference

Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning

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 disciplines.
