I would argue that if he can solve the problems on his own, without LLM assistance, than he has mastered it.
- turzmo 2mo agoThat may be, but my point stands. It is neither learning to absorb difficult material nor efficient.
- BeetleB 2mo agoThe same could be said for someone taking a university course where Rudin is the textbook, and they rely on the professor/TA to help them understand the book. This is needlessly nitpicky. The stark reality is that the majority of undergrad math majors do not achieve what this person has merely be reading Rudin (assuming he is actually solving most/all the problems).
