Studying advanced subjects can be challenging, especially when textbooks lack answers to exercises, making self-assessment difficult. While textbooks may provide some sample exercises, they often do not include complete solutions, leaving learners without necessary feedback. Self-studying can lead to a narrow understanding of concepts, as individuals may become fixated on specific modes of explanation that do not align with the material presented. Engaging with peers or seeking help from mentors can enhance understanding and provide alternative perspectives.The discussion emphasizes the importance of broadening one's concept of understanding, as self-studiers may struggle to adapt to different teaching styles or explanations. It is suggested that taking formal classes with professors and fellow students can provide essential support and feedback. Additionally, using resources like Schaum's Outlines, which include worked examples, can be beneficial for those tackling advanced topics. Ultimately, developing a deep understanding of complex subjects often requires time, patience, and the willingness to explore various methods of learning.

You could work out the problems and submit them for review at PF. Show your work and approach to get feedback.
This advice is almost the same as what I was going to give. I was going to say to go to a local college's math tutor department, while it is not busy, and ask if someone will check your work. In my experience, they just assume that I go to the school. Once you know what the right solution is, whether you figured it out, or received it from the tutor, or received it from here, put it in a notebook Then refer to it when you practice to use as a reinforcement to your response for the excercise.
