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!

Re: Why is quiz part often harder than content in a maths textbook?
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.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

George Casella's

I guess it is too hard for my self study
