Suggest a book for problem solving

AI Thread Summary
Key recommendations for improving problem-solving skills include "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving" by Zeitz and "Principles of Mathematical Problem Solving" by Erickson and Flowers, both of which focus on mathematical problem-solving techniques. For those interested in physics-related problem-solving, "Problems in General Physics" by Irodov is suggested as a valuable resource. The discussion emphasizes the need for books that enhance problem-solving abilities, particularly with an engineering or physics focus.

The Art and Craft of Problem Solving by Zeitz
Principles of Mathematical Problem Solving by Erickson/Flowers

These are two good, popular books on mathematical problem solving. I don't know any for engineering.

Thread 'List of STEM Masterworks: THE SUMMARY'

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...

Thread 'Hassani's books on Mathematical Physics/Methods'

By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
