A guide to George Polya's "How to Solve It"

Introduction

George Polya (1887-1985) was a Hungarian mathematician and educator who revolutionized our understanding of problem-solving and teaching. While he made significant contributions to mathematics, his most enduring legacy is his insights into how people learn and solve problems. His 1945 book "How to Solve It" has influenced educators across numerous fields, extending far beyond mathematics.

Polya's Teaching Philosophy

Polya's approach centered on three key principles. First, he championed active learning, believing students learn best by discovering solutions themselves rather than being told answers. Second, he emphasized heuristic thinking - the art of guided discovery and learning from experience, viewing problem-solving as a skill that can be developed through practice. Third, he developed sophisticated questionin

##Neo4j GraphGist - Enterprise Architectures: Real-time Graph Updates using Kafka Messaging

Neo4j Use Case: Low Latency Graph Analytics & OLTP - Update 1M Nodes in 90 secs with Kafka and Neo4j Bolt

Introduction

A recent Neo4j whitepaper describes how Monsanto is performing real-time updates on a 600M node Neo4j graph using Kafka to consume data extracted from a large Oracle Exadata instance.

This modern data architecture combines a fast, scalable messaging platform (Kafka) for low latency data provisioning and an enterprise graph database (Neo4j) for high performance, in-memory analytics & OLTP - creating new and powerful real-time graph analytics capabilities for your enterprise applications.

Still Todo

I can’t believe how smoothly this went…

suspend - seems to work after installing gnome, pm-suspend works too… I have my eye on you. <.<
- systemctl suspend works, but doesn’t wake properly.
