Sometimes you just need it explained like you are five or something that was explained earlier in the "concepts" section of the textbook needs to be explained explicitly during the problem demonstration sections. And on top of that repeated explanation of the same concept is another key factor in solidifying concepts but I've found math and physics books to be so lacking in this that it's as if they are trying to hit the absolute minimum number of word count a textbook can have. Was very frustrating during college.
