If you have difficulty with a problem go to the table of content and study the material
under that topic and try the problem again. Another method of learning is if you get
the wrong answer study the solution then retry the problem. Do this until you understand
the problem and your able to obtain the correct answer.
I will be adding additional problems and answers at a
future date
