Part Overview
Overview
By this time, you have already read one third of this book. Let's summarize everything you have read so far:
Long ago, inventive problems were worked out and even now in the majority of cases by using the "Trial and Error" method. This method, however, is often ineffective. It takes a lot of time, effort, and resources. Often inventions were created many years later.
The scientific-technical revolution requires a completely new method for solving technical problems. To this end, The Theory for Solving Inventive Problems (TRIZ) was created. It teaches us to solve problems without selecting an "empty" traditional variant. Here is the basic idea: The evolution of a technical system, like any other system, is subject to the general laws of evolution. The knowledge of these laws allows you to develop the methods and tools for solving inventive tasks.
There are three groups of methods that you have learned so far:
-
Various tricks (i.e., Do it in advance).
-
The methods...
