Apr 12, 2018 at 22:38 comment added Kimball advanced texts similar to Polya's 'How to solve it?' - I do not know how to parse this.

Apr 12, 2018 at 10:05 comment added Joel Adler I cannot recommend Villani's 'Birth of a theorem'. There are no doubts that Villani is a brilliant mathematician. But the book depicts a guy who is unbearably full of himself.

Apr 12, 2018 at 7:10 comment added Dave L Renfro These don't qualify as advanced (except for Villani’s book) and they're certainly not texts, but possibly relevant are: The Mathematical Experience by Phillip J. Davis and Reuben Hersh (originally published in 1981); How Mathematicians Think by William Byers (2007); Loving + Hating Mathematics by Reuben Hersh and Vera John-Steiner (2011); Birth of a Theorem by Cédric Villani (2015).
Apr 12, 2018 at 4:56 comment added John Stillwell Not quite in the style of Polya, but equally insightful, is Hadamard's Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field, ia800304.us.archive.org/4/items/eassayonthepsych006281mbp/…
