  2. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks (e.g. how to turn on an appliance) to complex issues in business and technical fields. The former is an example of simple problem solving (SPS) addressing one issue ...

  3. Heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic

    A heuristic (/ h j ʊ ˈ r ɪ s t ɪ k /; from Ancient Greek εὑρίσκω (heurískō) 'method of discovery', or heuristic technique (problem solving, mental shortcut, rule of thumb) is any approach to problem solving that employs a pragmatic method that is not fully optimized, perfected, or rationalized, but is nevertheless "good enough" as an approximation or attribute substitution.

  4. Mathematical software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_software

    A solver is a piece of mathematical software, possibly in the form of a stand-alone computer program or as a software library, that 'solves' a mathematical problem. A solver takes problem descriptions in some sort of generic form and calculates their solution. In a solver, the emphasis is on creating a program or library that can easily be ...

  5. Pareto principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle

    In essence, the problem-solver estimates the benefit delivered by each action, then selects a number of the most effective actions that deliver a total benefit reasonably close to the maximal possible one. Pareto analysis is a creative way of looking at causes of problems because it helps stimulate thinking and organize thoughts.

    Takeaway. Interpersonal conflict refers to any type of conflict involving two or more people. It’s different from an intra personal conflict, which refers to an internal conflict with yourself ...

  7. Creative problem-solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_problem-solving

    Creative problem-solving ( CPS) [1] is the mental process of searching for an original and previously unknown solution to a problem. To qualify, the solution must be novel and reached independently. [1] [2] The creative problem-solving process was originally developed by Alex Osborn and Sid Parnes. Creative problem solving (CPS) is a way of ...

  9. Mathematical problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_problem

    A mathematical problem is a problem that can be represented, analyzed, and possibly solved, with the methods of mathematics. This can be a real-world problem, such as computing the orbits of the planets in the solar system, or a problem of a more abstract nature, such as Hilbert's problems. It can also be a problem referring to the nature of ...
