To continue studying math stat at the next level, then you want Casella and Berger's Statistical Inference (solutions to most of the problems are available online).

If you want a good linear models book, then look for Rencher's Linear Models in Statistics (mostly theory but has all solutions in the back of the book), but a more applied book would be Kutner's Applied Linear Regression Models.

If you've taken analysis and linear algebra (not that baby level augment matrix with zero vector and solve. A real linear algebra course) then look at The Elements of Statistical Learning (free pdf on authors website and full solutions elsewhere). If your math is not really there, then the authors also made a free book titled Introduction to Statistical Learning with R. The difference between the two is similar to baby Rudin and papa Rudin.

Any other questions, or even what are you trying to accomplish by studying?

It depends on what field you are in.

For industry jobs in math, stats, cs, and geology, the person with the MS will out earn the PhD because of the high opportunity cost associated with obtaining a PhD. Moreover, while on the job hunt, unless your dissertation was directly related to something that the company specializes in, your PhD might only "qualify" you for a year or two of work experience. Generally industry doesn't give a shit that you wrote a two hundred page paper about homophobic algebraic systems. They want to know that you have a track record of providing results that will either make or save them money.

For chemistry and biology, yeah you need that PhD unless you want to be washing lab equipment the rest of your life for $14/hour. Then with your PhD, you can supervise the glassware washers for $20/hour.

Stewart's Calculus. You're the brainlet. Consider the trigonometric functions that have inverses. Moreover those functions are neither strictly increasing or decreasing unless you only consider support on (0, 2pi).

OP from the grad school general here. You can read about the cheaters that are going to btfo this week >>8761011

Those are the best exams to grade!

Automatic zero points for the problem and a big red X drawn in the space for the solution. The worst are the exams where the student knows just enough to be dangerous: I have to figure wtf they're doing so they can get some partial credit.

Second best are the ones where the answers are correct and everything seems to be in order.

would go balls deep and raw!
