He wrote three books on the subject: How to Solve It Mathematics of Plausible Reasoning Volume I: Induction and Analogy in Mathematics , and Mathematics of Plausible Reasoning Volume II: Patterns of Plausible Reasoning In How to Solve It , Pólya provides general heuristics for solving problems of all kinds, not simply mathematical ones. The book includes advice for teaching students mathematics and a mini-encyclopedia of heuristic terms. It was translated into several languages and has sold over a million copies. Russian physicist Zhores I. Alfyorov

    Extractions: Version for printing Privatdozent at the University of Budapest, one cannot say but he received such a post shortly before he died in his early fifties when George was ten years old. In fact although George's parents were Jewish, he was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church shortly after his birth. How did this come about? Well Jakab, Anna, and their three children at the time, converted from the Jewish faith to the Roman Catholic faith in 1886, the year before George's birth. George attended elementary school in Budapest and received his certificate in 1894 which recorded (see for example [2]):- ... diligence and good behaviour. Gymnasium I thought I am not good enough for physics and I am too good for philosophy. Mathematics is in between. and mathematics by I was greatly influenced by , as were all Hungarian mathematicians of my generation, and, in fact, once or twice in small matters I collaborated with . In one or two papers of his I have remarks and he made remarks in one or two papers of mine, but it was not really a deep influence.

    Extractions: The Goals of Mathematical Education by George Polya (circa 1969) (credits) At a time when university mathematicians are making important decisions about the school mathematics curriculum, perhaps it is appropriate to hear from Professor George Polya. Polya (1887-1985) was a distinguished mathematician and professor at Stanford University who made important contributions to probability theory, number theory, the theory of functions, and the calculus of variations. He was the author of the classic works How to Solve It Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning , and Mathematical Discovery , which encouraged students to become thoughtful and independent problem solvers. He was an honorary member of the Hungarian Academy, the London Mathematical Society, and the Swiss Mathematical Society, and a member of the (American) National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the California Mathematics Council, as well as a corresponding member of the Academie des Sciences in Paris. The essay that follows is a slightly edited, unpublished transcript of a videotape lecture that Professor Polya presented to my inservice and preservice mathematics education students in the late 1960s.

    Extractions: Piet Hein The simple idea. To make simple things difficult is easy and requires only a confused mind or lack of thinking. To keep things simple, on the other hand, is hard and requires effort and imagination. Every child knows that questions come before answers, it is not the other way around. This does not happen every day: 'Vanessa,' she answered. 'What is your name,' he asked. However, this happens every day: 'To find the interest, you multiply the principal by the rate and by the number of days. Finally you divide by 100 and 360,' the teacher answers. 'How much interest will a capital of $4,500 earn in 190 days if the rate is 5%?' the teacher asks. There is something fundamentally wrong here. The teacher started with the answer and then raised the question.

    Extractions: Lakatos 1976, 144 One day I would like to construct a set of plausible dialogues that some students (15-17 years old) might use instead or in addition to the traditional textbook. Some of the characteristics of "the traditional textbook" are expressed in this review of the most used Norwegian textbook for this age level: The presentation of a new topic seldom takes its starting point in practical problems, and little is done to explain what it all is good for. There are few applications and for several of the topics there are none ... Very little has been done to train the students to "mathematise" a problem in the society or in life ... The mathematics that is presented in the book is not developed in special historic situations ... The mathematics is presented as formal, timeless, and ahistoric ... We tend to believe that the work has little to offer those students that will not do more courses in mathematics.

    Extractions: George Pólya (1887-1985) George Pólya was born in Budapest on 13 December 1887. His father Jakab (who died in 1897) had been born Jakab Pollák, of Jewish parents, and with a surname which suggested Polish origin. It is likely that ancestors had emigrated from Poland to Hungary, where a lesser degree of anti-Semitism existed. However Jakab converted to Catholicism believing that this would help him advancing in a career and changed his name to the more Hungarian Pólya. George’s mother had also been of Jewish background with similar history. Her paternal grandfather, Max Deutsch, had in fact converted to Presbyterianism and worshipped with Greek Orthodox Romanians. George’s father Jakab had been a solicitor with a great mind, but one who was prepared to pursue a case in which he believed with no fees. He was not financially successful despite the time he lived in being considered a golden age for Hungary. As a student George attended a state run high school with a good academic reputation. He was physically strong and participated in various sports. His school had a strong emphasis on learning from memory, a technique which he found tedious at the time but later found useful. He was not particularly interested in mathematics in the younger years. Whereas he knew about the Eötvös Competition and apparently wrote it he also apparently failed to hand in his paper. He graduated from Marko Street Gymnasium in 1905, ranking among the top four students and earning a scholarship to the University of Budapest, which he entered in 1905. He commenced studying law, emulating his father, but found this study boring and changed to language and literature. He had become particularly interested in Latin and Hungarian, where he had had good teachers. He also began studying physics, mathematics and philosophy. His development was greatly influenced by the legendary mathematician Lipót Fejér, a man also of wit and humour, who also taught Riesz, Szegö and Erdös. Fejér had discovered his theorem on the arithmetic mean of Fourier Series at the age of 20.
