 ====Tricks for formulating and solving problems====
-<fs medium>
-  - Simplification: get rid of enough detail (including practical aspects) for intuitive understanding.\\ \\
-  - Similarity to a known problem (experience helps)\\ \\
-  - Reformulate (avoid getting in a rut)\\ \\
-  - Generalize (more than opposite of simplify)\\ \\
-  - Structural analysis (break problem into pieces)\\ \\
-  - Inversion (work back from the desired result)
