Author here. For what it's worth, deciding what percentage of the exercises should have solutions is a continual challenge. I chose to use a lot of interactive exercises (thanks to PreTeXt these are easy to embed in the text) for which students can enter their answer and get feedback on whether they are correct. That works well for computational problems. For proof-based or otherwise theoretical problems, I tired to provide enough examples with full solutions and a few exercises with them as well, while still giving those who would like to have a more authentic open-ended problem without solution that opportunity too. And of course, I want other professors to find the book useful for courses they teach, and providing problems without solutions that can be graded for credit is also important.

Anyway, hope you find the resource helpful.
