Chapter 5: Reading for a Hard Course

For my Calculus class, my professor wants us to read the chapters that we review in class.  This might not sound hard, but it is, because the book is still in the editing phase.  So I'm suppose to read a book that contains wording problems,  not getting the idea across problems, the equations not written correctly, and last of all, there is no answers to the problems.  Luckily I have a tutor to help me get what it all means.  The way I tackle this book is when there is an example to a problem, I first read the example and explanation, then I try to work out the problem my self.  If I come across a problem that doesn't work out even though I test it 2 or 3 times, then I make a note to ask my professor if that the equation is written correctly.  Most of the time that works, but if doesn't, I make a note in the margin of the book to ask my tutor.
