If you don't know of George Polya? I highly recommend you check him out.
= His most popular book was "How to Solve IT"
See here for the Wikipedia Entry on George Polya.
= He published a common man's book for teaching everyone, how to think.
How to Solve It! in 1957. Sure, this doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment. However, consider the times, and how many decades since then. American Education has gone through several changes, since the 60s even. Plus, students today are getting more reliant on technology than ever. I digress.
Anyhow, pick it up. Read it. It won't take you more than three days or just skim it.
= In my opinion, the number one purpose of the book, is to consider. How do you think about problems. ie, Heuristics, the field Polya pioneered.
