Description

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.
  • 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.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
