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 ...

   Genre. Mathematics, problem solving. Publication date. 1945. ISBN. 9780691164076. How to Solve It (1945) is a small volume by mathematician George Pólya, describing methods of problem solving. [1] This book has remained in print continually since 1945.

4. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization

   Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criterion, from some set of available alternatives. [1] [2] It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization.

5. Trial and error - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_error

   In elementary algebra, when solving equations, it is guess and check. This approach can be seen as one of the two basic approaches to problem-solving, contrasted with an approach using insight and theory. However, there are intermediate methods which for example, use theory to guide the method, an approach known as guided empiricism.

6. Algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm

   Algorithm. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm ( / ˈælɡərɪðəm / ⓘ) is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation. [1] Algorithms are used as specifications for performing calculations and data processing.

7. 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 ...
