No offense, but I think you should make sure that he will NOT do ALL problems if he understands the concept. There is no reason to do every single problem in the book.


Sorry for being imprecise. Yes, I really meant all the hard problems. Thanks. One approach to make thing fun is to start with the hardest problems and work backwards until it becomes trivial then move on.
