Brief Overview

The book by Genrich Altshuller, «Creativity as an Exact Science: The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving», focuses on a systematic approach to solving inventive problems. Altshuller developed the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), which offers a methodology for finding innovative solutions across various fields of engineering and science. The main idea of TRIZ is that the creative process can be structured and analyzed using specific principles and algorithms. The book describes the main TRIZ tools, such as the laws of technical system evolution, contradiction resolution techniques, and problem analysis methods. Altshuller asserts that inventiveness can be studied as an exact science and provides readers with practical recommendations for applying TRIZ in real-world situations.
