Solving problem strategy.

.

INTRODUCTION

Terence Tao said about problem solving:
“It’s not about being smart or even fast,” Tao added. “It’s like climbing a cliff: If you’re very strong and quick and have a lot of rope, it helps, but you need to devise a good route to get up there. Doing calculations quickly and knowing a lot of facts are like a rock climber with strength, quickness and good tools. You still need a plan — that’s the hard part — and you have to see the bigger picture.”

His views about mathematics have changed over the years.

“When I was a kid, I had a romanticized notion of mathematics, that hard problems were solved in ‘Eureka ’ moments of inspiration,” he said. “With me, it’s always, ‘Let’s try this. That gets me part of the way, or that doesn’t work. Now let’s try this. Oh, there’s a little shortcut here.’ You work on it long enough and you happen to make progress towards a hard problem by a back door at some point. At the end, it’s usually, ‘Oh, I’ve solved the problem.’” Read more at https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/Terence-Tao-Mozart-of-Math-7252
