In mathematical optimization and computer science, heuristic (from Greek εὑρίσκω "I find, discover") is a technique designed for solving a problem more quickly when classic methods are too slow or for finding an approximate solution when classic methods fail to find any exact solution. This is achieved by trading optimality, completeness, accuracy, or precision for speed. In a way, it can be considered a shortcut. A heuristic function, also simply called a heuristic, is a function that ranks alternatives in search algorithms at each branching step based on available information to decide which branch to follow. For example, it may approximate the exact solution. (Wikipedia).

The Mind of a Genius: John von Neumann I The Great Courses
If John von Neumann were on LinkedIn, his experience would include the Manhattan Project, early computer science, the atomic bomb, the hydrogen bomb, and the invention of game theory. A famed mathematician, Neumann played a major role in all of these by using applied heuristics. Add heuris
