Doesn't this defeat the purpose of the exercises?

  Yes, it does.

    No, it doesn't. It all depends on how you use it. Many people like to verify that they have done correctly before moving on to the next problem. Often no solution is given, which makes people unsure and nervous about continuing. And if you're stuck this can show you the steps and you can learn something.

  It depends how you use it, I think. Math in school is about learning and solving problems. But, many textbooks don't have answers. So how could you learn, if you don't know if you have success solving problems? I think this is great, but it will get abused.

  I think it fundamentally changes how the lessons are being taught. Sure, you'll need to spend some time to understand the fundamentals of solving the problem, but afterwards (and just like in real life) you'd punch the problems into the computer and solve them. This leaves the field open to expand the lesson into more in-depth topics, rather than getting bogged down on the simple math.
