This book deals with simple problem solving. Universities and corporations are only now beginning to acknowledge that engineering problem solving is a unique creative process in its own right. This book is designed to help engineers make the important jump from mechanically grinding out textbook solutions to successfully analyzing the complexity of real world problems. The book consists of a large number of worked examples, each explained in a student teacher dialogue and illustrated.
