| Description: | This course will explore scientific problem solving by comparing and contrasting it with problem solving in two other domains: puzzles and strategy games. Puzzles serve as the vehicle for introducing such basic aspects of problem solving as developing representations, defining the problem, using heuristics, and evaluating solutions. Strategy games will be used as a way to practice problem solving skills in a domain in which can be quickly learned. No credit toward a physics major. |
