8vo. Volume II of Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning. Full brown cloth. x, 190 pp. Bumping to corners. Dust jacket is sunned to spine, spot of wear to front cover, short tear to head of rear cover. Mathematical works usually present theorems and them prove them by rigorous deduction, but in this book Professor Polya is concerned with the psychological patterns of inductive reasoning which lead to those theorems and finally to the rigorous deductive proofs. The book builds on the accumulation of mathematical experience with induction and analogy provided in Volume I, but is not otherwise dependent on it.
