I have looked course lists and got questions on mathematical stats 1 course. It seems quite hard one as it uses Shao’s book. How did you find this course in terms of difficulty. I was thinking of studying Simon&Blume Math for economists, De La Fuente math book and intro to mathematical stats by Hogg only. Should I go for more math and stats textbooks to follow the course without any problems?

Hello everyone, Does any of you know if there is a complete solutions manual for the Jehle/Reny Advanced Microeconomic Theory book? I have only found a manual for selected exercises, but that is unfortunately not enough. Thank you!

Hi Guys! I sat the October 2017 exam, and I passed. So, I've decided to sell the textbooks I used to prepare for the FPGEE exam. Below, the books on sale. 1) APhA Complete Review for the FPGEE £80.00 (I bought it for £123.00). The book is in mint condition with no scribbles or writing on any of the pages. 2) Lippincott Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology Aug 2014 edition. £25.00 (I bought it for £29.29). Brand new and never used. 3) Manan Shroff 2017-2018 Edition Reference Guide for Foreign Pharmacy Licensing Exam - 1200 Questions & Answers $30.00 (I bought it from $69.99). Well maintained book; however, I have written and highlighted in the book. Hence, selling it really cheap. If interested please get in touch. Good Luck!

:question: Question : It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why? :idea: Idea : There are many sources of knowledge, two of which are books and experience. Each of those two sources has its own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of knowledge written in books over knowledge from experience is that the former has been put down into long-lasting materials that can make it ever-lasting. It can be passed on from generations to generations and can be shared by many people in its original form. This way, knowledge from the distant past can still be learned by the current generation. For example, we can get information about people’s life in several centuries ago because people at that time had written down their history. However, knowledge written in books has its own limitations. It can only discuss theoretical aspects. When it comes to practical aspects, we need real-life experience to teach us. Lessons or skills which need physical action cannot just be learned from books. Take swimming lesson for example. It is impossible to learn to swim only from the books. We also have to practice it in pools and try out the techniques required. Learning to ride a bicycle or to cook is another similar example. Another limitation of books is that books cannot bring us the real sensation that our senses capture. For example, books cannot teach us exactly how fragrant a rose is or how sweet a ripe apple is. Only from experience can we feel the fragrance of a rose or the sweetness of a ripe apple. In my opinion, those two sources of knowledge, books and experience, should complement each other. One cannot gain advanced knowledge if he/she relies on one source only. He/she should learn the theory from the books, then gives it practical sense by doing it in real world. Otherwise, one can try to do something new and when he/she experiences failure in doing so, he/she can consult relevant books to find out what is wrong and what to do to avoid the same mistakes in the future. However, when it comes to real world, I tend to think that real-life experience counts more than mere theory from books. I observe that many famous people succeeded by practicing and experiencing trials and errors many times. Even a popular proverb says that success can be achieved through blood, toil, sweat, and tears. So far, I have never heard that someone can achieve success only by learning from books. In the opposite, I have learned of many people who achieved success by applying “learning by doing” principles. :)
