What I never liked much in books that should provide knowledge.

With books, I've experienced many times exactly what you describe and, frankly, I hated it. I remember in particular Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" and Scheid's "Numerical Analysis".

I noted that Knuth made the point that some of his exercises varied from dead simple to really really advanced post-graduate level, in fact some exercises may not have had a provable answer at that time. Thankfully he indicated the general difficulty at the time he printed the questions. Additionally if you'd been able to create a valid proof for some of those exercises, it might help gain your post-graduate degree.
