MAT 2330 Creative Problem Solving
(formerly MAT 233)
This course explores various techniques of problem solving that can be applied to any Mathematics courses. Of a particular interest is Polya's four basic principles of problem solving: understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out a plan and looking back. In addition to Polya's principles, other strategies are investigated, which include how to relate a problem with an existing one and how to look for patterns.
