Geometry for Dummies
Product Description You know that geometry is a math thing, right? You remember that much from school. You also probably remember that it has something to do with circles, squares, diameters, angles, and all those other terms that floated in (and probably right out of ) your head as you were cramming for all those geometry tests way back when. But your math teacher probably never told you that you'd actually use that stuff in real life – if he had, maybe you would have paid more attention! Well, don't fret. You're in the same boat as almost everyone else. Geometry has about a million (a rough estimate) uses in real life – for example, you may have some home improvement projects you want to tackle; you have to know how to cut the wood at certain angles to make them fit together. ( Bet you didn't realize that carpenters have to be experts at geometry as well!) With a basic knowledge of geometry, building some bookshelves for your kid's room becomes so much easier. Geometry For Dummies can give you that basic understanding of geometry, and you might actually have a little fun along the way. Written in a breezy, easy-to-understand, non-textbook-like style, this book helps you with all your geometrical dilemmas. In Geometry For Dummies, you'll find out about the following topics and more:
So whatever your reason for wanting to learn geometry – a home improvement project, helping your kid with his or her homework, or just a fascination with funny shapes – Geometry For Dummies is just what you need to recall what you learned in school and put it to good use. Book Info Complete guide to understanding geometry, the fun and easy way. Filled with tips and tools you need to tackle any geometry problem. Softcover. Reader Reviews I purchased this book to be a refresher for me in Geometry for prep for my GMAT. I was just looking for the basics and some sample problems. This book does go over the basics but fails to provide sample problems and does not give many examples, only illustrations to explain a concept. I also found the book to be a lot of 'filler' for example there is a chapter that mentioned "cool careers that use geomtry" The final chapter of the book which is a quickie guide/summary is probably the best part of the book. Overall if you want a book with problems or are out of Junior High School, I dont suggest this one Comment (1) | | (Report this)
