Point well taken.  The lack of Chapter-end exercises makes this book not 
work well for a classroom environment, but the OP did say, "... for a 
PhD student ...", and the book is full of exercises that the author 
takes readers through. This collection of  exemplars might be perfect 
for  self-study by a PhD student looking to move on to solve his own 
problems.
