Exploring the creative processes of renowned thinkers like George Polya and Albert Einstein, the book delves into how inspiration often strikes after intense focus on a problem, particularly when attention shifts to other activities. Hadamard presents a compelling argument for the role of unconscious mental processes in mathematical invention and creativity. Originally titled The Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field, this work remains a significant resource for understanding the complexities of mental life, predating the advancements in cognitive science and computer research.
