Heuristics is a term that denotes the use of common-sense rules, gleaned from experience, to solve problems. In computer science, heuristics is the basis of heuristic programming, a branch of artificial intelligence and computer science concerned with...

The term applied to describe a method of problem solving through the exploration of a set of possibilities rather than by following a specific set of rules. Teaching methods that are heuristic are those that allow the pupil or student to discover or...

. Concerning discovery, as against proof. Heuristics is the study of methods and discovery. A heuristic is a procedure for achieving a result which does not consist simply in applying certain general rules which are guaranteed to lead to the result in...

Using a process of discovery, of trial and error, to discover the truth. This approach is central to the use of computation in...
