Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning:

Induction and analogy in mathematics
Front Cover
1 Review
Princeton University Press, 1990 - Mathematics - 280 pages

Here the author of How to Solve It explains how to become a "good guesser." Marked by G. Polya's simple, energetic prose and use of clever examples from a wide range of human activities, this two-volume work explores techniques of guessing, inductive reasoning, and reasoning by analogy, and the role they play in the most rigorous of deductive disciplines.
