MSTL2403 MATHEMATICAL THINKING LABORATORY (0-0-3)

Course e: Computer Science graduates must be extremely good in problem solving. Today neither

structured thinking nor problem solving is formally taught. This course will be a formal overview of

formal thinking tools, and mathematical problem solving techniques. The experience from this course will

be of lifelong importance

Pre-requisite: Willingness to exercise the grey cells

Scope and Syllabus: We will teach thinking techniques from essentially four sources:

1. Mathematical methods listed by Polya in his famous book.

2. Easiest to use TRIZ tools

3. Disruptive Innovation concepts of Christensen

4. Tools for systems thinking

Examples of tools to be taught:

1. Mathematical Problem Solving techniques: Analogy, Can you check the result, Can you derive the

result differently, Can you use the result, Carrying out, Condition, Corollary, Decomposing and

recombining, Diagnosis, Did you use all the data, Examine your guess, Figures, Generalization, Heuristic

reasoning, Induction and mathematical induction, Look at the unknown, Notation, Problem related to

yours and solved before, Reductio ad absurdum and indirect proof, Restate the problem, Rules of

discovery, Rules of style, Separate the various parts of the condition, Setting up equations, Symmetry,

Test by dimension, Wisdom of proverbs, Working backwards

2. Idea generation tools: 9-Windows, Ideal Final Result, Resources, Size Time Cost, Disruptive

Innovation

3. Systems thinking: Efficiency Breeds Vulnerability, Entropy, Multiplier Effect, Seeing the Big Picture,

Seeing Yourself Through Alien Eyes, Spiral and the Pendulum, Trend Countertrend,

Teaching Methodology: Provide problems, solve with given tools. Then provide more problems and ask

students to find answers by applying the tools learnt.

Text Books: How to Solve It by George Polya
