Suggest a book for problem solving

AI Thread Summary
Key recommendations for improving problem-solving skills include "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving" by Zeitz and "Principles of Mathematical Problem Solving" by Erickson and Flowers, both of which focus on mathematical problem-solving techniques. For those interested in physics-related problem-solving, "Problems in General Physics" by Irodov is suggested as a valuable resource. The discussion emphasizes the need for books that enhance problem-solving abilities, particularly with an engineering or physics focus.
