THE 121 HEURISTICS FOR PROBLEM SOLVING
by MARCO AURÉLIO DE CARVALHO, TZ-CHIN WEI and SEMYON D. SAVRANSKY
Most books can be generally classified into one of 3 groups: entertainment, education or reference. The entertainment books disport us, education books teach us and reference books inform us.
G. S. Altshuller books combine entertainment and education to make TRIZ more attractive to recall the tools by remembering the problem and solution. "Engineering of Creativity" unites education and reference goals to compose utility for TRIZ students and practitioners.
This book for TRIZniks and engineers merges the major reference purpose with 500+ illustrative examples extracted from recent patents that should shed more light on 100+ heuristics for more efficient problem solving.
S.D. Savransky.

Selected works for TRIZniks"
During our lessons in the Virtual TRIZ College we have figured out that some students have limited or no knowledge of many topics that are important for TRIZ, but out of the framework of TRIZ itself such as philosophy behind TRIZ, theory of design, etc.. So, TRIZ Experts established the compilation "Selected works for TRIZniks" that represents several important publications that help you understand TRIZ better.
"Selected works for TRIZniks" is distributed as an e-book (WinZip file about 1Mb) for 50US$ price via PayPal.
This is a non-profit project (all money will be used for research in TRIZ) and your contribution is kindly appreciated.For addition information please contact The TRIZ Experts.
