※ 引述《coastazure (be positive)》之銘言：
: 他的建議都是keep reading
Keep readin 很重要 但怎麼 reading 也很重要 ...
轉貼清大動力機械工程學系教授彭明輝教授的文章供參考 ..
雖然寫作對象是理工科的學生 但我想做 Social Science 的人一樣受用

Best,

題目範圍與大方向選定後,
應一邊進行 literature survey,
並依序設法回答下列問題:
１．What are the problems considered in the papers
(statement of the problems)? (history of the researches)
２．What are the significance of the proposed problems?
(How are they related to real problems?
What are the troubles encountered in real applications?
What are the final aims in their researches?)
╔══════════════════════════════════╗
║ Table I: Attribute of the Problem ║
╠══════════════════════════════════╣
║ Give a brief sketch of the problems, ║
║ important factors, considerations involved, ║
║ ie., built up your table of problems ║
║ in order to evaluate the achievement of the previous works and ║
║ how far they are from the final goal. ║
╚══════════════════════════════════╝
３．What are the most prevailing approaches to this problem?
(characteristics of the approaches, comparisions)
４．What are the main achievement (significance) of the existing techniques?
(What they can do and what they cannot do?)
５．What are the main ideas based upon them the achievements are done?
６．What are the main deficiency of the existing techniques?
(What are the important attribute which have be missed in the formulation
of the present approaches?)
╔══════════════════════════════════╗
║ Table II: Attributes of the Existing Tech. ║
╠══════════════════════════════════╣
║ Then you should be able to identify works ║
║ worth of significant effort to solve, ║
║ ie., to identifity problems which are significant in this branch ║
║ of research. ║
║ Based on this study you are ready to propose to yourself problems ║
║ of research. ║
╚══════════════════════════════════╝
７．Compare
the table of Attributes of Problems obtained in steps １ and ２ and
the table of Attributes of the Existing Tech. obtained from steps ３ to ６
to identify the factors which are important to the problem
but have not been included in formulating the existing approaches.
８．Why is it that these important factors have not yet been successfully
included in the formulation of the present approaches?
Is it possible to incorporate these factors into a new approach ?
If it is possible, How?
９．If you successfully answer all of the questions listed above one by one,
you get a problem for research together with main ideas
which are of importance in leading yourself to the success.
証明時應依下述順序進行:
１．Clearly describe the statement
you are going to establish and give the conditions based on them
the statement can be verified.
(ie., a formal statement of thetheorem you want to prove)
２．Based on the conditions given in the statement of the theorem,
derive the logical consequence one by one towards the statement
you want to establish.
Note that during the process no deduction based on statements
which has not yet been formally proved should be performed.
３．Make it clear what of the following is the case:
Is the condition necessary? sufficient? necessary and sufficient?
Either give concrete arguments to validate or
give example to nurify the statements appear in your arguments
during establishing your theorem.
４．For more details, reflecting on what you had been doing in high school
geometry.
