>>12704841>Is that half an hour each?Depends on the question, some take 1 minute, others take half an hour if it is the first time I have come across a question of that kind.
Some examples (though I risk turning this into a thread about how shit my maths is!):
9. [M23] Given that and are rational, prove the laws of exponents under the assumption that the laws hold when x and y are integers.
This I found very straightforward, and did it in minutes. On this other hand
8. [25] Let be a positive integer. Prove that every positive real number has a unique positive th root, by giving a method to construct successively the values , in the decimal expansion of the root.
took me a lot longer, perhaps an hour or so of reading back and fiddling. Really really not competitive times for questions which I am sure are trivial to others, but as I say, I am far from a mathematician. I see improvement though, so I am happy enough.
So, are other volumes in the series skippable or is that just going to cause issues down the line?
