Mathematical Discovery on Understanding, Learning, and Teaching Problem Solving, Volume I Quotes

“If you can't solve a problem, then there is an easier problem you can solve: find it.”
― George Polya, Mathematical Discovery on Understanding, Learning, and Teaching Problem Solving, Volume I

“The elegance of a mathematical theorem is directly proportional to the number of independent ideas one can see in the theorem and inversely proportional to the effort it takes to see them.”
― George Pólya, Mathematical Discovery on Understanding, Learning, and Teaching Problem Solving, Volume I
