George Polya (1887-1985) was a Hungarian mathematician. He is famous for work on mathematics education, and for the 4 steps to solve a problem:
1. understand the problem
2. devise a plan
3. carry out the plan
4. look back
We can use this method to solve physics problems also. Try it! (It is a good idea to make a drawing of the situation in step 1). Single page explaining Polya’s principles:

Here is an equation summary I made for group 10022.
This basically covers chapters 1-14 and 17-20 of Young and Freedman, 12. ed.
