Learning to Solve Problems Systematically

One of the main activities in learning chemistry is solving various types of problems. The best way to approach a problem, whether it is a chanistry problem or one from your daily life, is to ask questions such as the following  

What is my goal Or you might phrase it as Where am I going  

How do I proceed from where I start to where I want to go Or you might say How do I get there  

We will use these ideas as we consider unit conversions in this chapter. Then we will have much more to say about problem solving in Chapter 3, where we will start to consider more complex problems.
