This lecture introduces a method for solving complex problems, inspired by the work of mathematician George Pólya. The method involves analyzing, listing, solving, and verifying steps. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the problem statement accurately. Students are encouraged to reflect on their problem-solving approach, using Pólya's heuristic and asking critical questions to enhance their problem-solving skills.
