Russian inventor Genrich Altshuller developed an elaborate set of methods for problem solving known as TRIZ, which in many aspects reproduces or parallels Pólya's work. How to Solve it by Computer is a computer science book by R. G. Dromey. [29] It was inspired by Pólya's work.
George Pólya (/ ˈ p oʊ l j ə /; Hungarian: Pólya György, pronounced [ˈpoːjɒ ˈɟørɟ]; December 13, 1887 – September 7, 1985) was a Hungarian-American mathematician.He was a professor of mathematics from 1914 to 1940 at ETH Zürich and from 1940 to 1953 at Stanford University.
[4]: 23–24 The pair held practice sessions, in which the problems were put to university students and worked through as a class (with some of the representative problems solved by the teacher, and the harder problems set as homework). They went through portions of the book at a rate of about one chapter a semester.
A college student just solved a seemingly paradoxical math problem—and the answer came from an incredibly unlikely place.

Gregory (1966) The Enjoyment of Math by Hans Rademacher and Otto Toeplitz (1966)
This is apparently a reference to the second edition of How to Solve It (©1957 G. Polya). I do not know how significantly it differs from the first edition (©1945 Princeton University Press), but I can hardly imagine these ideas were not present in both.

All horses are the same color is a falsidical paradox that arises from a flawed use of mathematical induction to prove the statement All horses are the same color. [1] There is no actual contradiction, as these arguments have a crucial flaw that makes them incorrect.
