Quantitative Problem Solving in Natural Resources / Generalizing Relationships
"A solver should identify relevant variables and constants, introduce descriptive notation, state what is known, and look for multiple expressions that define the same quantity. Unknown relationships may be guessed or inferred from context, after which the expressions can be equated, simplified, and checked for dimensional consistency. This process turns a verbal understanding of a problem into a formal symbolic statement."
