Hi there! Polya's work on mathematics and plausible reasoning is highly regarded in the mathematical community. I can definitely recommend three books by him that delve into this topic:

1. "Mathematical Discovery" - This book explores the nature of mathematical thinking and how to approach problem solving. Polya emphasizes the importance of creative thinking, making connections and understanding the problem before attempting to solve it.

2. "How to Solve It" - In this book, Polya outlines a four-step process for problem solving: understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan and looking back. He also provides numerous examples and exercises to illustrate his approach.

3. "Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning" - This book delves deeper into the concept of plausible reasoning, which involves using intuition and common sense to make educated guesses and hypotheses. Polya discusses the role of plausibility in mathematical proofs and problem solving.

I hope these recommendations are helpful in your search for Polya's work. Happy reading!
