Abstract | In this paper we follow a hypothetical mathematician who is working on a problem that is eventually solved. We treat this problem as if it were difficult for the mathematician. In following the mathematician's work, we note both what she does and what she doesn't do in the process. By the latter, we consider the times when progress is not being made and how this lack of progress is resolved. The purpose here is to give some idea of how a research mathematician might approach a research level problem. We also propose that the problem under discussion is one of many problems that tertiary students can valuably tackle using a discovery-based approach as a means of using their mathematical content knowledge as well as learning to be creative.
