50-some probability problems done. only 80 more left in the chapter, and probably 30 of then are lame enough to skip. and then i'll be done with chapter three.
unless i get started on nethack today.
UPDATE: apparently i was on problem like 74 when i left off, which left fewer to do. and lots were lame or stupidly hard, so they were skipped for later decades. and i cut out early. good thing, too, 'cause now that i'm here there's like a thunderstorm. rockin'.

incessant labor. more seriously ['cause who has time for that?], review the damn definitions over and over and make sure you know the exact statement and preferably the proof to every theorem you ever encounter. everything else depends on how bright you are, but if you have those down, you'll make up for a lot of deficiencies in method.
Well, if you're not being a math genius, perhaps it really is heuristic methodology that's get you down rather than the typical beginner snags of not learning everything. Or perhaps unrealistic expectations. More details needed?
i'm in the same boat a little bit, though not with math [no problems with reviewing probability]. it's hard to learn everything about everything, especially when you have side projects like reading french novels and figuring out latex in emacs.
