The discussion revolves around the question of whether a genius can solve all exercises in a textbook without encountering problems, exploring the implications of genius in relation to problem-solving in mathematics and physics. The conversation touches on the nature of genius, the purpose of textbook exercises, and the relationship between intelligence and hard work.
Participants generally disagree on the meaningfulness of the original question and the implications of genius in solving textbook exercises. There are competing views on whether genius is necessary to solve such problems and the role of hard work versus innate ability.
Some participants note that the purpose of exercises is to provide students with opportunities to apply concepts, and there are discussions about the time constraints students face when solving these problems.
This discussion may be of interest to students, educators, and individuals exploring the concepts of intelligence, problem-solving, and the nature of genius in academic contexts.
Nanas said:I know my question is not clear.All I want to say if genius ones can solve any exercise of textbook without any problem I mean without having a problem at one of the sub exercise.
But, you will once you do all the exercises in your textbook? Oh common.Nanas said:I don't Consider my self a genius.
