My son likes this book

After taking Algebra and buying a title on it from the same author my son really wanted this book to help him with Geometry. The teacher who helped him in Algebra really liked these books and recommended them as well.
helpful and inexpensive

Compact, inexpensive and easy to use - this book has it all and it's been field tested successfully on a number of occasions. It covers everything in two dimensions and even has a chapter on solid geometry. The format is particularly attractive making it possible to open the book to any page and dive right in. The statement of each problem is highlighted and every section clearly labeled which makes navigating the book trouble free. In addition, the authors often give two proofs for a problem - the first an informal presentation giving the motivation and plan of attack - to be followed by the formal two column proof. A student can read most of this alone and could read it cover to cover with the help of any competent tutor.
