Richard Rusczyk is the founder of the Art of Problem Solving website. He was a national MATHCOUNTS participant in 1985, a three-time participant in the Math Olympiad Summer Program, a perfect AIME scorer in 1989, and a USA Mathematical Olympiad winner.

Grade 1-5-In his fifth visual math adventure, Tang uses the artwork of 12 famous painters as an aid in developing problem-solving skills through grouping. Each spread features a quality reproduction on the left side. The poem underneath it highlights an item in the picture and presents a math query.

Polya’s Problem Solving Techniques In 1945 George Polya published the book How To Solve It which quickly became his most prized publication. It sold over one million copies and has been translated into 17 languages. In this book he identi es four basic principles of problem solving. Polya’s First Principle: Understand the problem.

In Street-Fighting Mathematics, Sanjoy Mahajan builds, sharpens, and demonstrates tools for educated guessing and down-and-dirty, opportunistic problem solving across diverse fields of knowledge—from mathematics to management. Mahajan describes six tools: dimensional analysis, easy cases, lumping, picture proofs, successive approximation, and reasoning by analogy.

The Art of Problem Solving? Can you recommend me a book, which best describes the art to solve any kind of problem? And I am curious, has anyone ever tried to be in the same position as Newton was, and tried to re-invent calculus or tried different mathematical formulas to solve calculus problems?

Art of Problem Solving Beyond Contest Prep Textbook and Solutions Manual: The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 2, is the classic problem solving textbook used by many successful high school math teams and enrichment programs and have been an important building block for students who, like the authors, performed well enough on the American Mathematics Contest series to qualify for the Math.

The old ways of solving problems don't always work. Even the most innovative teachers need some fresh ideas to make mathematics something students comprehend and enjoy. In The Art of Problem Solving the contributors look at the problem solving in a completely new light. The result is an enticing, entertaining and useful resource.

On the surface, the Art of Problem Solving text looks like a typical textbook that many may have used in school, but it is quite different. Most typical text books introduce new material, then provide exercises for the student to complete. By contrast, The Art of Problem Solving presents problems at the beginning, before presenting new material.

I used the Art of Problem Solving's Pre-Algebra book (and their free companion site) for a little over a year to teach my 6th grader math. Once we had finished the entire book, we moved on to AOPS Intro to Algebra. My advanced (in math) 7th grader enjoys the challenge of the curriculum.
