Fermi Problem Solver-Estimation & Analysis Tool

Overview of Fermi Problem Solver

The Fermi Problem Solver is designed to tackle Fermi problems, which are estimation questions often requiring solutions that involve making reasonable assumptions to derive approximations. These problems typically don't have a readily available or straightforward answer, hence, they require a methodological approach to break down complex questions into simpler, more manageable parts. The essence of this solver lies in its ability to dissect broad, often vague questions into quantifiable components, apply mathematical reasoning, and use known data or estimates to arrive at a solution. For instance, if asked to estimate the number of piano tuners in a large city, the Solver would start by estimating the city's population, the proportion of households likely to own a piano, the frequency at which a piano needs tuning, and the number of pianos a tuner can service in a year. This step-by-step estimation process exemplifies the Solver's core functionality. Powered by ChatGPT-4o。
