By using I mean, for example in the lecture course suppose I have to use the proof that the author gives in the textbook and I want to follow it, in this case the one teaching wants to incorporate the proof that the author has given, say for an established theorem. – danny Jul 16 '20 at 11:06

A textbook is produced as “here is a tool to teach students or a class”, while a paper is produced as “this is the state of play of our work”.
The author of the textbook expects lecturers and students to use the material but if they quote it in lecture notes or an essay they then expect it to be correctly referenced.
