Unlocking Creativity in Solving Novel Mathematics Problems delves into the fascinating realm of thinking and feeling approaches in creative problem-solving, exploring the impact of attending to 'feeling' on the successful resolution of novel problems. Throughout, the book emphasizes robust research, unveiling strategies for identifying, describing, and measuring 'feeling' or 'intuition' within problem-solving processes. It details the construction of a novel conceptual framework for creative problem-solving, encompassing cognitive and non-cognitive elements such as the brain's visuo-spatial and linguistic circuits, conscious and non-conscious mental activity, and the generation of feeling through self-listening, derived from verbal data. This framework serves as the foundation for developing a comprehensive quantitative model of creative problem-solving, encompassing the dimensions of Person, Product, Process, and Environment.

In a world relentlessly driven by the pursuit of innovative ideas and novel solutions to intricate challenges, the application of the findings within this book will usher in a revolutionary transformation of the way students, educators, businesses, and industries approach novel problem-solving, as well as mathematics learning and teaching. By embracing the power of 'feeling' and integrating it into problem-solving approaches, individuals and organizations can unlock a realm of untapped creativity, innovation, and success.
