Methods for Solving Problems

About this course

In this course, we will explore different types of problems, the boundaries of what makes a problem solvable, and the different algorithms, rules, and heuristics we can implement to solve these problems.

What you will learn

• Ascribe human and computational problems to various definitions of difficulty and problem solving techniques.
• Use problem solving strategies to break down problems.
• Describe the effects of various sources of bias in judgement and decision making.
• Analyze and apply heuristic models and probability modeling to a variety of decision making scenarios.
