This is part of a series. I haven't read Solve It but there is another one that I worked through several years ago before returning to school, How to Prove It, that really cleared up how to do proofs for me. It is all based around set theory and some of the later proofs are quite deep:

- gjm11 13y agoNot part of a series. "How to solve it" was written long before "How to prove it", and the latter was presumably named in homage to Polya's book. (Though I don't think it has much in common.) There's another recent mathsy book called "How to solve it: modern heuristics" which is actually about optimization algorithms and has basically nothing to do with Polya's book.
