Problem Solving
Introduction Creative problem solving skills are needed in a technological society in order to generate innovative ideas. A Working Definition of Problem Solving Any definition of problem solving should consist of three ideas. First, the problem is presently in some state. Second,it is desired that the problem be in another state. And third, there is no direct obvious way to accomplish the change.
Human Information Processing Systems By understanding how the human brain processes information, then it becomes easier for the user to adopt "software" tools to get the machinery to run more efficiently.
Problem Space and Goals Problem solving takes place by search in a problem space. When a problem is first presented, it must be recognized and understood. Then a problem space must be constructed or if one already exists in Long Term Memory merely evoked.
Searching the Problem Space Even though most of the procedures that will be discussed in this section are from the fields of Discrete Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence it shouldn't’t be too hard to conceive of the human brain as using such search procedures in solving its own problems.
Biological Aspects of Problem Solving Since we have established a theoretical basis for problem solvingwe should also supplement it with a biological model. Biologically the task of problem solving was found to be located in the frontal regions of the brain.
Developmental Factors in Problem Solving What factors contribute to good problem solvers? There are a minimum of three different components that are involved in a child’s acquisition of problem solving skills. The three components that will be covered here are: (1) spatial perception,(2) experience, and (3) language.
Characteristics of Problem Solvers What do good problem solvers have that poor problem solvers don't? Nothing that cannot be changed.
Blocks (Cultural, Perceptual, Emotional) to Creative Problem Solving. Simple tools that define the various components that block maximum problem solving efficiency.
Memory: Simple Tools to Improve It Good problem solving must draw upon past experience. Learn how to improve your memory skills.
Creativity It is not that complex of a process, nor are the tools!
Change Attitudes in Problem Solving Via Affirmations A simple method used by professionals to help clients attain maximum performance.
Writing Logically Not only will you learn a method of solving everyday problems, but you will also learn to write in a more logical fashion. Very effective methodology.
Bibliography Comprehensive list of readings.

Who Are We? There are many things of interest in the world of technology...well,in life in general. After six years of maintaining this site it all boils down to this: Do It Yourself. Start by taking control of your mental health with Brain Self-Control as you work towards self-realization and intellectual/spiritual maturation. Learn to play with the Web tools: Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, HTML, etc. and empower yourself with graphic design skills so that you can communicate with your world more effectively/efficiently. Furthermore, to succeed within our digitalculture you will need to learn the ethics that drives Web 2.o. With the digital age comes increased responsibility as our knowledge base increases exponentially. Responsibility is the ability of the individual to DIY and thus overcome the learned helplessness instilled by our culture (error 404.) Your creative nature may lead you to explore the world of music...our favorite...art, writing, poetry, history, etc. Regardless of what path you take...just Do It Yourself, and learn to express yourself creatively and non-violently. Learn to deal with what the world/nature throws at you. This site provides you with many of the tools needed to DIYwith the ultimate goal being self-realization and self-sufficiency. You can learn to express yourself with audio recording, digital photography, jazz, the blues, and the arts in general. But, it does not end there, you take ultimate control ofour life within the digital world by learning to maintain your computer system...Mac or Windows...as well as your biological computer system of brain and body. Neuro-tech. Enjoy.

The image in our logo is an Apollonian gasket. An Apollonian gasket can be constructed as follows. Start with three circles C1,C2 and C3,each one of which is tangent to the other two (in the general construction these three circles can be any sizeas long as they have common tangents). Apollonius discovered that there are two other non-intersecting circlesC4 and C5 which have the property that they are tangent to all three of the original circles - these are called Apollonian circles (see Descartes' theorem). Adding the two Apollonian circles to the original three we now have five circles.

Take one of the two Apollonian circles - say C4. It is tangent to C1 and C2so the triplet of circles C4C1 and C2 has its own two Apollonian circles. We already know one of these - it is C3 - but the other is a new circle C6.

In a similar way we can construct another new circle C7 that is tangent to C4C2 and C3
and another circle C8 from C4C3 and C1. This gives us 3 new circles. We can construct another three new circles from C5 giving six new circles altogether. Together with the circles C1 to C5this gives a total of 11 circles.

Continuing the construction stage by stage in this way we can add 2·3n new circles at stage ngiving a total of 3n+1 + 2 circles after n stages. In the limit this set of circles is an Apollonian gasket.

The Apollonian gasket has a Hausdorff dimension of about 1.3057 [1].
