Why is quiz part often harder than content in a maths textbook?
I find many problems very very tough to do in Casella's probability textbook, which reveals knowledge not covered in his content.
It seems a convention that maths teachers leave the hardest part in problems.
Unfortunately I am not a guy relying on answer manuals.
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Hi George,Y;
Casella's probability textbook,
Which one?

I am forced to agree. I have seen some where the problems are undoable even if you are familiar with the chapter.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

George Casella's
Statistical Inference
I guess it is too hard for my self study
