All the chapter’s exercises, worked step by step, in order of appearance in the book: first the guided exercises in the text, then the end-of-chapter problems (numerical, conceptual, true/false, ranking, graphical, estimation), the “method cornerstone” worked exercises, and finally the last problems with figures.
