Book launch: Innovative Problem Solving of Puzzles
Surely you can solve the 3 digit number puzzle in 20 mins if you approach the puzzle with systematic problem solving techniques.
Two Exponent and base puzzles: Both exponent and base of the term in LHS are quadratic equations in single variable and it equals 1. Time to solve 15 mins.
World's hardest easy geometry problem is to be solved by elementary geometry only and that makes it hard. Hint: Increase symmetry in the puzzle figure.
The mechanical approach to math problem solving relies heavily on manipulation of terms using low level mathematical constructs without using the problem solving abilities of the student. In this problem we have highlighted the possibility to solve a problem in many ways and also the application of less facts and more procedures approach, both working towards improving the general problem solving skills of the student...
All things change. This is nothing new. But the change itself may be considered an important entity to be used as resource for efficient problem solving in various areas of activity and thought. In particular, Change analysis technique may aid you to solve your problem faster at less cost...
In a set of components each having multiple entities, identify the base to be equalized; identify the target value to be equalized to and equalize the bases of each component in the set to establish direct relationship between the other entities...
Base equalization technique produces quick solutions in indices problems. But that is not the only area of application of this more general concept. For solving problems on fractions also, the base equalization technique is indispensable...
Even if you know that the Base equalization technique may solve your problem with great ease, first you have to decide on that and second you have also to decide to which same value the bases are to be equalized...
End analysis approach of problem solving discipline often produces startlingly lucid and elegant solutions to problems. Though it is easy to demonstrate the superiority of this approach over conventional approaches in academic problem solving, specially in mathematics, it is no less effective in real life complex problem solving ...
