520 1 $a"Discussion of the Method outlines the heuristic-based reasoning used by engineers and generalizes it to a universal method for problem solving. Delving into the connection between engineering and philosophy, this ground-breaking text illustrates how the theoretical and the practical can merge to form real-world solutions. Furthermore, the methodology covered in this book is user-friendly and easily synthesized with individual approaches to problem solving.
520 8 $aDiscussion of the Method is an ideal supplement for introductory and advanced courses in engineering, philosophy, and other disciplines, as well as a compelling read for general audiences."--BOOK JACKET.
