In summary, the conversation discusses the importance of repeated practice in mastering problem solving methods and the search for books with a large number of problems and solutions in subjects such as logic, statistics, probability, and advanced calculus. Some book recommendations are also mentioned, including "Calculus" by James Stewart and "Probability and Statistical Inference" by Robert V. Hogg and Elliot A. Tanis.

Walking to campus this morning, a light bulb appeared above my head...

The concepts that I've mastered, I define mastery as an intuitive understanding of problem solving methods, have one thing in common. I've practiced or used these ideas repeatedly, so they are stored in my long-term memory. For example, I self-studied propositional and predicate logic through UC Davis Logic Primer, which has a ton of problems and exercises with solutions. I've also had to use logic in: Discrete Structures, Analysis, and arguments with my wife.

I'm wondering if you guys know about any books with lots and lots of problems with solutions for these subjects: Statistics, Probability, & Advanced Calculus (as per the topics covered in Baby Rudin)?

Note: I have a copy of The Probability Tutoring Book, which does have a lot of problems with solutions, so a good probability book is the lowest priority of the above 3 subjects.
