If you are new to the Tricki, you may find the following page useful; it has information about what the Tricki is, what its aims are, what we hope it will develop into, how to read, write, find, edit, or comment on articles, and more: Introduction to the Tricki Update: See this blog post of Tim Gowers's for information on how the Tricki developed.

As in any continuum with opposites, most problems fall somewhere between well-structured and ill-structured problems.

Moderately-structured problems share aspects of both well and ill defined.

The best way to understand what these options are is to explore the following links.

This problem that they are attempting to solve is generally ill-defined or ill-structured in nature.The idea behind all of them is to exposit techniques that are used regularly by mathematical problem-solvers, at every level of experience.We hope you will enjoy using and contributing to the site.In other words, solving a well-structured problem is accomplished by recalling procedures and performing them exactly as taught.Examples of well-structured problems that people perform at work include using a coffee machine, turning on and logging into their computer, and accessing email.In organizations at every level, solving ISPs holds the most value compared to solving more well-defined problems that can be automated or taught more easily.Solving ISPs requires the acquisition and use of expertise of context specific knowledge.They offer no general rules or principles for describing or predicting the outcome of most cases and require multiple criteria for evaluating solutions.Examples of ISPs include redesigning a work process, designing a new product, or creating a new marketing strategy.Collaborative workplace problems are typically ill-structured based on the fact that workers are attempting to solve a problem that is new to the organization.These problems have no clear procedural or predetermined path to solve it, and may have many different solutions.
