Suppose one has to learn a new subject on book that contains hundreds of pages and hundreds of problems. Is it more useful to learn book by reading it and skipping those parts I don't understand and come back later to the hard parts, or read the book line by line and doing all exercises rigorously before moving to next page, possible by asking the details in this site?
