Bypasses: Simple Approach

Demonstrates how to ''bypass'' a complex problem by breaking it down into several less complex conjugant questions and solving these simpler, component parts. Explores the uses of conjugancy in research, as a unifying teaching device that exploits similarities and analogies across all technical fields, and as a tool of invention and discovery.

A neglected gem

I have not read all of this book and to be frank some of it is beyond my ability, but quite a lot of it is not. In any case this is not the type of book that you pick up and read in one sitting. The book presents a unifying theory that covers a great many phenomena in mathematics and science. The basic concept is deceptively simple: transform a problem, solve the transformed problem and then reverse transform it. One elementary example is to mulitiply two numbers by adding their logarithms. A second is to communicate across a long distance by tranforming voice into electrical current.This simple idea has wide applicability. Most of the book presents examples from a wide range of fields. They will make you look at things in a different light. Bypasses deserves a wider audience.
