DESCRIPTION:
. Kadesch has spent the past several years developing a Liberal Education course entitled "Problem Solving Across the Disciplines." This text, which is based on his course, approaches problem-solving as an important subject in its own right, emphasizing problem-solving strategies that unify learning rather than compartmentalize it. Proble m-solving strategies are also shown to relate to all disciplines -- For example, the Prisoner's Dilemma game applies to International Politics, Economics, Psychology, Sociology, and Biology; and Graph Theory is used in Engineering, Sociology, Anth ropology, Architecture, and Marketing. From the Publisher A physics professor, science and mathematics columnist for the Salt Lake Tribune, and author of two trade books of mathematical puzzles and problem solving, R.R
Phyllis Safman said Scientific and applicable. This book is meeting my expectations. It is well written and linear (so far) in its approach. It follows a scientific model and is more broad in its appeal.
