Abstract
George Polya belonged to a very rare breed: he was a front-rank mathematician who maintained an extremely deep interest in mathematics education all through his life and contributed significantly to that field. Over a period of several decades he returned over and over again to the question of how the culture of problem solving could be nurtured among students, and how mathematics could be experienced ‘live’. He wrote many books now regarded as masterpieces: Problems and Theorems in Analysis (with Gabor Szego), How to Solve It, Mathematical Discovery, among others. This article is a tribute to Polya and a celebration of his work.
