I’m considering the idea to solve the entire set of problems contained in the Hoffman-Kunze text. The standard results of Linear Algebra are known to me.
I don’t have much time to read the textual materials. Is there any harm if I skip reading text and solve only the problems?
Would, in your opinion, selecting problems arbitrarily from any part of the text to solve be a good idea?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
(1) No. There is no harm in attempting problems. If you solve them, that's fine. If you get stuck, you can read the text to get more background. (2) Yes. Pick any problem you like, though you may find that you make better progress by doing the earlier problems first.
