    About this ebook

    In today's world, everyone faces problems; professional,
    personal, or psychological. Not only individuals, organizations
    and governments face problems. It is easier to escape from a
    problem than face it. But simple or complex, problems need to
    be solved within a timeframe so that goals are achieved.
    Problem-solving can be both a science and an art. There are
    many well-defined approaches to solving mathematical, scientific
    or engineering problems. Psychologists approach to
    problem-solving in many ways. According to the situations and
    their emotional and intellectual capabilities, people adopt different
    techniques and strategies to solve the problems. Norman
    Vincent Peale, the famous American author, known for
    popularizing the concept of positive thinking has rightly said,
    "Problems are to the mind what exercise is to the muscles,
    they toughen and make the mind strong."

      Preface

      In today’s world, everyone faces problems; professional, personal, or psychological. Not only individuals, organizations and governments face problems. It is easier to escape from a problem than face it. But simple or complex, problems need to be solved within a timeframe so that goals are achieved. Problem-solving can be both a science and an art. There are many well-defined approaches to solving mathematical, scientific or engineering problems. Psychologists approach to problem-solving in many ways. According to the situations and their emotional and intellectual capabilities, people adopt different techniques and strategies to solve the problems. Norman Vincent Peale, the famous American author, known for popularizing the concept of positive thinking has rightly said, Problems are to the mind what exercise is to the muscles, they toughen and make the mind strong.

      Summary

      A problem is an unwelcome situation that should be overcome. A problem comes in the way of achieving the objectives. Some problems may be very temporary and may not be worth solving. Identifying the problem correctly and defining it is the first step towards solving it. Problems can be stated and represented using different methods. Sometimes one might have to deal with multiple problems simultaneously. Prioritizing the problems is very important in such cases.

      Problems are everywhere. There will be maths problems for a student to solve. Choosing which dress to wear for a party can be a problem for a teenager. Paying the EMI of the house loan and the arrogant boss can be problems for a grown up. There will be border issues between neighboring countries. So it goes without saying that there is no universal approach to problem-solving.

      Mathematics, science, engineering and computer programming problems are always well defined. Mostly the objectives will also
