Difference between George Pólya and Scientific method

George Pólya vs. Scientific method

George Pólya (Pólya György; December 13, 1887 – September 7, 1985) was a Hungarian mathematician. Scientific method is an empirical method of knowledge acquisition, which has characterized the development of natural science since at least the 17th century, involving careful observation, which includes rigorous skepticism about what one observes, given that cognitive assumptions about how the world works influence how one interprets a percept; formulating hypotheses, via induction, based on such observations; experimental testing and measurement of deductions drawn from the hypotheses; and refinement (or elimination) of the hypotheses based on the experimental findings.

Similarities between George Pólya and Scientific method

George Pólya and Scientific method have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Heuristic, How to Solve It, Imre Lakatos.

Heuristic

A heuristic technique (εὑρίσκω, "find" or "discover"), often called simply a heuristic, is any approach to problem solving, learning, or discovery that employs a practical method, not guaranteed to be optimal, perfect, logical, or rational, but instead sufficient for reaching an immediate goal.
