Features: As a part of China's higher education system, the self-study examination is responsible for promoting, encouraging, assisting, and advancing self-learning at the level of higher education. Its duty is to lay a path for every self-learner's growth, and organizing the compilation of teaching materials for readers to study is a crucial step in fulfilling this responsibility. Without a doubt, such teaching materials should be suitable for self-study, facilitate learners in mastering and understanding knowledge and new information, and help them apply what they learn to solve practical problems. Books with such characteristics, although we still use the term "teaching materials," differ greatly from traditional textbooks that are solely for teachers to lecture and students to listen to, where teaching is emphasized and students remain passive, with a focus on "teaching" rather than learning. In terms of content arrangement, format, and writing style, these materials are significantly different. We hope readers understand this so that they can establish a firm belief in self-learning from the beginning, continuously explore learning methods that suit them, fully utilize their existing knowledge base and practical work experience, and maximize their potential to achieve their learning goals.
