Brand new. We distribute directly for the publisher. Winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Award for 1997! The purpose of this book is to teach the basic principles of problem solving, including both mathematical and nonmathematical problems. This book will help students to...* translate verbal discussions into analytical data. * learn problem-solving methods for attacking collections of analytical questions or data. * build a personal arsenal of internalized problem-solving techniques and solutions. * become "armed problem solvers", ready to do battle with a variety of puzzles in different areas of life. Taking a direct and practical approach to the subject matter, Krantz's book stands apart from others like it in that it incorporates exercises throughout the text.
