Geometry

Summary: I really like this book.
Review: This is an excellent resource for a traditional geometry course. I especially love the challenging problems at the end of each lesson. The homework problems have a wide range of difficulty that can accommodate the most advanced honors student, but it can also be used in a regular level class. No errors or typos in this book. Does not integrate technology, but I use GeoSketch Pad assignments to supplement in this area. I have taught with this text for four years and love it.

Summary: A must have in every household
Review: This is probably one of the best mathematical books that I have read thus far. This book must be read by every pre-college student who seeks the heavenly path to Mathland and Logicland or Philosophy. It was genuinely interesting to read and work the exercises that range from simple to very challenging. The chapters are broken to small units which make things very easy to comprehend, and provide innate feeling that you are making a lot of progress, all the time. What a wonderful feeling when you are doing math. The book contains a lot of background that will prepare you well for future studies of Math, Logic, and Proofs beyond Geometry. The real life examples are interesting. And last, but not least there is no danger that you will need a foot surgery if the book will fall on your feet, the book had more than 600 pages, but somehow the publisher kept it small and light weight. I wish I had access to this book in High-Scholl.

Summary: Good addition to any course
Review: We used this book throughout last year in geometry and I found it to be helpful in having plenty of sample problems of how to use the things we learned in class. The problem some of the previous reviewers had, of not being able to understand, have a teacher issue, not a book issue. If the teacher taught instead of the book they would be fine.
