looking at recommendations for books for people like me who are not mathematics naturals.

have been through polya's 'how to solve it' and noticed that i did not pick up those heuristics naturally through high school and 3 university courses on math.

want recommendations on books containing ideas on

i) problem solving heuristics ii) memorization heuristics (if such a thing exists) iii) taking math exams (problem solving speed etc)

in short, the kind of things naturals at math find easy and the non naturals would like some help with.

i wouldn't mind personal advice / technique on these dimensions either but not sure if the two different questions of books / personal advice can be rolled into one question here.

    I have converted the question to [community wiki](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/11740/what-are-community-wiki-posts/11741#11741), as it's asking for a list of references and there is no single right answer.2011-08-03

1) How to develop a Super Power Memory

2) Mathematical Morsels

3) More Mathematical Morsels

4) AOPS 1

5) AOPS 2
