Books on improving mathematical problem solving generally and in an exam setting

1.4k Views Asked by At

looking at recommendations for books for people like me who are not mathematics naturals.

have been through polya's 'how to solve it' and noticed that i did not pick up those heuristics naturally through high school and 3 university courses on math.

want recommendations on books containing ideas on

i) problem solving heuristics ii) memorization heuristics (if such a thing exists) iii) taking math exams (problem solving speed etc)

in short, the kind of things naturals at math find easy and the non naturals would like some help with.

i wouldn't mind personal advice / technique on these dimensions either but not sure if the two different questions of books / personal advice can be rolled into one question here.
