Re-format Chapter 2 and 3 exercises

[asadoughi]

In the Chapter 4 and beyond solutions, I followed a format of using one Rmd file per problem with the knitr package to generate Markdown and HTML files. It would be nice to have a consistent format.

It would be especially nice to have photos of the handwritten notes typed.

I have a recommendation to counter this:
https://github.com/ramnathv/slidify
Instead of having one exercise per file, do all exercises in one file and use this package to make 'slides' for each question. This way you don't keep having to change file if you're reviewing questions and you can share code between questions.

I hadn't heard of slidify before. Cool.

If this was a software project, I would also prefer to have no duplicate code between answers. However, as someone looking for answers to a specific textbook question, I would prefer to browse directly to the answer and not have to absorb the entire context of all of the other chapter's questions when looking for a specific answer.

Linking or navigating between answers or maybe an index of all the answers does seem like a separate, useful feature.

I found it today. Once I give it a try I'd be very happy to submit a
version to try out.

I think you've confused my enthusiasm for learning about a new R tool with wanting to use it here. To be clear, I am not interested in having slidify used in the stat-learning repo. Please refer to issue #25 for further discussion.
