Descartes and problem solving / Judith V. Grabiner.

In looking at Descartes' approach to problem solving, Grabiner brings into focus his general philosophy that, unless one has method, one will never discover anything useful. The lecture also shows how Descartes combined, extended, and exploited earlier methods to solve algebraic problems.
