Computing device providing electronic book data with configurable problems and changeable solution techniques and related methods

A method for using a computing device comprising a display, a memory, and a user input pointing device, the method comprising:

• storing electronic textbook data comprising at least one configurable problem to be solved using a given solution technique from among a plurality of different solution techniques, the at least one configurable problem having a plurality of different difficulty levels associated therewith;
• displaying the electronic textbook data with the at least one configurable problem on the display,
• determining a given difficulty level for solving the at least one configurable problem from among the plurality of different difficulty levels,
• selectively changing the given solution technique for the at least one configurable problem based upon actuation of the user input pointing device, and
• displaying a solution for the at least one configurable problem on the display based upon the change in the given solution technique and the given difficulty level.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for a computing device comprising a display, a memory, and a user input pointing device, the non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for causing the computing device to perform steps comprising:

• storing electronic textbook data comprising at least one configurable problem to be solved using a given solution technique from among a plurality of different solution techniques, the at least one configurable problem having a plurality of different difficulty levels associated therewith;
• displaying the electronic textbook data with the at least one configurable problem on the display,
• determining a given difficulty level for solving the at least one configurable problem from among the plurality of different difficulty levels,
• selectively changing the given solution technique for the at least one configurable problem based upon actuation of the user input pointing device, and
• displaying a solution for the at least one configurable problem on the display based upon the change in the given solution technique and the given difficulty level.
