Open the solution manual. Read ONLY the first 1-2 lines. That’s often enough to unblock you (e.g., “Use the spectral decomposition of S” or “Note that T^2 = Hotelling’s T-squared” ). Close the manual and try again.

The 6th edition is a gold standard textbook. But let’s be honest—multivariate methods (think MANOVA, Principal Components, Factor Analysis, and Canonical Correlation) are hard . The theory is dense, the matrix algebra is unforgiving, and the end-of-chapter problems can feel impossible. Open the solution manual

Used lazily, it will guarantee you fail the exam (because your professor will write new problems). the matrix algebra is unforgiving
