Problem solving is the science of converting a problem statement into a form that is easy to understand and solve.
Problem solving is a skill needed in many fields of mathematics, science and engineering. It is particularly important in computer science.
One element of successful problem solving is to determine the basic relationships in the problem and express them as algebraic formulas. Sometimes the relationships are straight forward, other times, they are more complex.
The chart method of problem solving developed for elementary algebra and used at this site is easy to use and understand. It directly supports problem solving on a computer and is amenable to processing plural data.
