This book saved my bacon! This book condenses out the fluff from a typical textbook, and details solution methods for almost every conceivable problem. The price is a STEAL compared to hundred-dollar textbooks. If you are struggling, or if you want a great book to use before that big test, you have to get this book. I'm getting all A's on my Geometry tests now, and their concise explanations helped solidify new concepts. | ||
not for kids The thing I like about the Schaum's series is that they don't try to be your friend. If you're going to try to sit down to learn something intricate like geometry, you've got some serious work to do, and the sooner you get to it the better. To this end, there are no pictures in the book, no blurbs on famous geometers or famous applications of geometry. No, this is a book for motivated, adult learners. You've got your explanations, your worked examples, and then tons of exercises with answers to all of them in the back of the book - not just the odd. The thing I like about this book, now in its third edition, is that it takes an example-exercise approach to geometry, rather than forcing you to memorize postulates. Even if your teacher is the most entertaining guy in the world, you're still going to have a lot of tedious work to do if you plan on mastering geometry. The way this book is laid out is an accurate reflection of that. The first two chapters, by the way, is a review of basic algebra. | ||
