you have to go in the water‚ and if you wish to become a problem solver you have to solve problems. -Mathematical Discovery In 1914 while in Zurich Polya had a wide variety of mathematical output. By 1918 Polya published a selection of papers. These papers consisted of such subjects as number theory‚ combinatorics‚ and voting systems. While doing so he studied intently in the following years on integral functions. As time went by he was noted for many of his quotes such as the following.
