Reading text books
How would I develop habit of reading textbooks for learning new concepts in mathematics?

Re: Reading text books
I often read a lot of different textbooks for the same topic/concept. Some textbooks are easier to read than others. You have to find the book that suits your style and maturity.
It's a good idea to have access to a library where they have a lot of math books.
Is there some more specific advice that you wanted?

Sorry, I missed your post somehow. Is there something specific you are trying to learn?

Re: Reading text books
Generally speaking, any theorem. For example sandwich theorem?

Re: Reading text books
Hi;
Learning random theorems is not very entertaining or illuminating. I think a better way to learn things is to learn a theory instead.
Since you mention the Sandwich Theorem, how about trying to learn some introductory Analysis? I recommend the book "Understanding Analysis" by Stephen Abott.
