How to Be Creative: A Practical Guide for the Mathematical Sciences

Building on the authors’ many years of experience running creativity workshops, How to Be Creative: A Practical Guide for the Mathematical Sciences • gives a six-step process for generating great ideas that can be used by individuals or groups, • provides examples demonstrating how these concepts have been or might be used in practice in the mathematical sciences, and • presents seven cases of tried and tested briefs that can be used at creativity workshops.

With mathematically oriented models, this book is for anyone in the mathematical sciences who wants to be more creative or who wishes to train others in creativity.
