Some reviews mentioned that these are impractical problems i.e. not application-based, Yes, that is true to an extent. However, that is not the reason you should buy this book. The idea is to help the student think out a solution instead of blindly applying a formula, plugging in the values and spitting out an answer. It is a great tool for cultivating thinking-based problem solving. It also teaches that there is more than one way to arrive at the solution. When I say "teach", I don't mean that the book shows you how to solve the problem. This book is not a textbook for teaching or learning. It is for applying your knowledge (gained in class, home school, tutor groups, etc.) and figuring out how to solve the problem. The answer key is provided, but not the method used to arrive at the solution. This is the reason why I bought it - you are forced to think out the answer; there may be more than one way to get the answer and the answer key only serves the purpose of giving the answer and not doing the thinking for you!
If that is something you are looking for - you should definitely buy this book!
