A: No. The book is self-contained. Every odd-numbered problem usually has a worked-out example earlier in the chapter. The even-numbered ones are for practice.

While solved examples help, the real test is the exercise at the end of each chapter. Most university exam papers pick questions verbatim from Veerarajan's unsolved exercises. Attempt all "Part C" (high-mark) problems.
