I'm self studying math and I'm going through How to Prove it by Velleman. Whenever I do the exercises I'll compare it to the solutions and if it's wrong what do I do? Should I comeback to the problem later after I've forgotten it and attempt it again? or do I write down the correct answer and just try to understand what's happened? or both?

this is the correct thing to do.

After checking the answer, work through the problem again immediately from scratch without looking at the answer, repeat until you get the right answer. Then do the same thing again after you've stopped thinking about it completely (30 mins - 1 hour), then do the same thing anytime tomorrow. Then repeat as needed with gradually increasing intervals (week, month etc)

This is the autistic way to do it and probably overkill but also the most effective. Note that when answering you MUST NOT LOOK AT THE ANSWER as it defeats the whole purpose of recall, though obviously you will need to check them in-between attempts.

Forgot to say that yes you should first try to understand what's actually going on, what I've said is just for making sure you don't forget

you try and understand the right solution and then solve the example right after it.
later on go ahead and look for similar examples, with a bit of a variation in the values and attempt it WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE SOLUTION UNTIL YOU FINISH IT as it would break the entire purpose of it.
keep on solving those examples untik you feel confident
>im not gonna solve so many examples anon fuck you
well its math, aint no way youll understand shit without hundreds of hours of practice
