George Polya George Polya was a Hungarian who immigrated to the United States in 1940. His major contribution is for his work in problem solving. Growing up he was very frustrated with the practice of having to regularly memorize information. He was an excellent problem solver. Early on his uncle tried to convince him to go into the mathematics field but he wanted to study law like his late father had. After a time at law school he became bored with all the legal technicalities he had to memorize. He tired of that and switched to Biology and the again switched to Latin and Literature, finally graduating with a degree. Yet, he tired of that quickly and went back to school and took math and physics. He found he loved math. His first job was to tutor Gregor the young son of a baron. Gregor struggled due to his lack of problem solving skills. Polya (Reimer, 1995) spent hours and developed a method of problem solving that would work for Gregor as well as others in the same situation. Polya (Long, 1996) maintained that the skill of problem was not an inborn quality but, something that could be taught. He was invited to teach in Zurich, Switzerland. There he worked with a Dr. Weber. One day he met the doctor’s daughter Stella he began to court her and eventually married her. They spent 67 years together. While in Switzerland he loved to take afternoon walks in the local garden. One day he met a young couple also walking and chose another path. He continued to do this yet he met the same couple six more times as he strolled in the garden. He mentioned to his wife “how could it be possible to meet them so many times when he randomly chose different paths through the garden”.

7. George Pólya - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia George Pólya. (Redirected from George Polya). George Polya (December 13, 1887 September 7, 1985) was an American mathematician of Hungarian origin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Polya

George Pólya From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from George Polya George Polya December 13 September 7 ) was an American mathematician of Hungarian origin. He was born in Budapest , Hungary and died in Palo Alto , USA. He worked on a great variety of mathematical topics, including series number theory combinatorics , and probability In his later days, he spent considerable effort on trying to characterize the general methods that we use to solve problems, and to describe how problem-solving should be taught and learned. He wrote three book 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 , Polya 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.

Paivio Allan: IMAGERY AND VERBAL PROCESSES (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1971) Paivio was the first to posit that the mind must use two different types of representation, a verbal one and a visual one, corresponding to the brain's two main perceptive systems. Parfit Derek: REASONS AND PERSONS (Oxford Univ Press, 1985) Parkin Alan: EXPLORATIONS IN COGNITIVE NEUROPSYCHOLOGY (Blackwell, 1996) A survey of the field, from the split brain to connectionist models. Pattee Howard Hunt: HIERARCHICAL THEORY (Brazillen, 1973) Collects five essays. Herbet Simon's "The organization of complex systems" proves that hierarchical organization is pervasive Pattee's "The physical basis and origin of hierarchical control" proposes general principles of organization and asks for a physical theory of the origin of life that rely on such principles. One fundamental finding is that hierarchical control does not reside in any one level of the hierarchy, it operates between levels. Pawlak Zdzislaw: ROUGH SETS (Kluwer Academic, 1991) Rough sets are sets that are defined in terms of lower and upper bounds.. Rough sets are useful in classifying imprecise, uncertain or incomplete knowledge. The approximation space is a classification of the domain into disjoint categories. The lower approximation is a description of the objects that are known with certainty to belong to the domain. The upper approximation is a description of the objects that possibly belong to the domain.

15. Polya Prize The george Pólya Prize, established in 1969, is given every two years, alternately in two categories another area of interest to george Pólya such as approximation theory, complex http://www.siam.org/prizes/polya.htm

Search Principal Guideline The prize is broadly intended to recognize specific recent work. Prize committees may occasionally consider an award for cumulative work, but such awards should be rare. Prize Committee Formation The prize committee will consist of a panel of five SIAM members appointed by the president. One of the members will be designated by the president as chair. Members of the prize committee must be appointed at least eighteen months before the prize award date. Tenure of the Prize Committee The committee for each prize award serves from the date of appointment until the prize is awarded. If the committee reports that no prize winner has been chosen, and if this report is accepted by the Executive Committee of the SIAM Council, the committee's duties will be completed. Rules of Operation The committee will determine its own procedures and rules of operation. Selection Procedures Eligibility There are no restrictions on eligibility beyond those specified in the Principal Guidelines. Nomination by Prize Committee Strong preference should be given by the prize committee to selecting one person as the prize winner. The prize committee will notify the president of its recommendation at least ten months before the prize award date. The committee's report must include a written justification and a citation of about 100 words that may be read at the time of the award.

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.

A Problem Solving Procedure based on George Poyla's, How To Solve It Understand the problem Plan a procedure to solve the problem. Solve the problem. Answer the question. Look back. Suggestions for Developing Understanding of the Process Understand the Problem Plan a Procedure Solve the Problem Answer the Question Look Back Discuss it. Ask questions about it. Draw a picture of it. Restate it in your own words. Tell someone else about it. Restate the information given. Restate the question. Have you ever solved a problem like this one before? Do you have all of the data you need? Would an experiment help? Would it help to construct a table? Would it help to draw a picture? Can you find a pattern in the data? Could you use some specific mathematical operation? Would guess-and-check help? Can you estimate an answer? Think about it. Carry out your plan. Should the answer have units? Does the answer make sense? Can you check your results? Describe what you've done. What techniques did you use?

George Polya Born: December 13, 1887 in Budapest, Hungary Died: September 7, 1985 in Palo Alto, California, USA If you can't solve a problem, then there is an easier problem you can solve: find it. How to Solve It Summary taken from G. Polya, "How to Solve It", 2nd ed., Princeton University Press, 1957, ISBN 0-691-08097-6. UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM First. You have to understand the problem. What is the unknown? What are the data? What is the condition? Is it possible to satisfy the condition? Is the condition sufficient to determine the unknown? Or is it insufficient? Or redundant? Or contradictory? Draw a figure. Introduce suitable notation. Separate the various parts of the condition. Can you write them down? DEVISING A PLAN Second. Find the connection between the data and the unknown. You may be obliged to consider auxiliary problems if an immediate connection cannot be found. You should obtain eventually a plan of the solution. Have you seen it before? Or have you seen the same problem in a slightly different form? Do you know a related problem?
