Recently I started work on a project that required image processing for a traveling exhibit of historical illustrations. I was really looking forward to working on it, but when I actually began work, my enthusiasm faded, and I wasn't sure how to go about it. Also, I was surprised to find that I had to struggle a bit with a seemingly simple problem, re-sizing rectangles proportionally using Python. I thought about why abstract problem-solving can be a struggle, and now I'm interested in how I can make the problem-solving process more enjoyable.
The problems I'm concerned with aren't limited to those requiring an algorithm or formula, but abstract problems in general. The main question I have in mind is, "What happens when the solution to an abstract problem is discovered?" I hope that by pursuing this question, I'll make the process both more enjoyable and more effective. A related question is, "How can I apply what I know about abstract problem solving to software development?" The purpose of the latter question is similar, to make the process more interesting, more fun.
