Problem solving is solving any problem systematically at low cost. The thinking needed for systematic problem solving applies to solving any problem.
It is an open ended discipline of study for solving problems in academic or daily life not randomly but systematically and efficiently at low cost using a rich set of abstract tools and techniques.
These powerful tools and techniques are created from experience analysis and abstraction of usable resources spread over many subjects such as Management, Computer Science, Maths and so on. This approach enables us to apply a technique to solve a problem in Maths as efficiently as a complex business problem.
Problem solving concepts: general concepts for enriching daily life.
Problem solving principles: form the heart of the discipline.
Problem solving techniques: help to solve difficult problems quickly and elegantly.
Problem solving approaches: these are few but form the most powerful resource.
Problem solving tools: are many and of varied power.
Problem solving skills: what are the essential problem solving skills and how to enhance the skills are discussed here.
Critical thinking: is an essential element for creating new ideas.
Problem solving in Maths: produces elegant solutions in quick time.
Relationships: Solving relationship problems.
Real life problem solving: Help in solving varieties of real life problems through concepts and case stories.

Thinking of sharing is not enough—we need to understand the mechanism of sharing. That potentially would enable the problem owner in sharing domain to tune the mechanism for reaching powerful solutions...
We live in a world of shared resources that can be analyzed at least at four dimensions. At the dimension of spread of space global sharing happens to hold highest potential at first glance, whereas sharing at the dimension of time and cross-domain sharing hold potential for most innovative solutions...
We go through our academic life usually with the help of teachers, subject syllabus and recommended books that contained exercises and exams.
What about real life problem books and exercises? Answer is disappointing: the book of real life problems is the book of life itself. Can you do anything about it?...
During the olden days Sharing was commonplace and not such a great thing to talk about. Today it is not so.
