Geometry Workbook For Dummies (For Dummies Series)

Great workbook, although a few of the problems and proofs are too long and difficult. I would have preferred to have more smaller and specific problems.

... is that this book lacks a glossary of terms. Every book – EVERY ONE – that passes itself off as a textbook needs one. Information absorption is doubled or tripled if one has a handy source for refreshing one's recollection of what various terms mean. This is especially true as one is reading/studying the 1st half of a text. (A word to the wise - having a glossary is roughly similar to one's carrying a dictionary to every class, regardless of the subject. But, that's a topic for a different day.)

Breaks steps down easily. I was a teacher and used it for tutorials

We bought this for someone struggling with geometry. She is doing much better but it may be because we bought so many books she went to the tutor instead. Mission accomplished but not sure if it was the book.

I bought this so I could brush up on my geometry t help my daughter with her homework. I had been 25 years since I had the class. I is easy to understand and has a great answer key.

My high school daughter was struggling with some high school geometry curriculum. I got this book thinking it would be helpful. It really wasn't. She still had trouble grasping it, and then I tried myself (it's been a long time since I took geometry), and I struggled as well. Maybe it's just one of those things...a teacher once told me some people tend to grasp algebra better and some tend to grasp geometry better. I don't know? But this really didn't help us much at all. We both liked Danica McKeller's book, Girls Get Curves. Even some of that was difficult, but we had much more success with that one. We both seemed to learn more from it.

My daughter needed help and I ordered this book. It was just what she needed to help her understand on her level.

Good for high school students. I tutored in a high school student and we followed the book materials. He learned a lot before the other students by going through this book

More problem will add to the book may be good

This book is of a much older edition than the current Geometry for Dummies, so there is a bit of adjustment required if you want to use this simultaneously. You can follow along for the most part, but I would honestly moreso recommend going through the regular "For Dummies" book first, searching through the index of this book for any problems you want some particular practice with, and then going back to this book once you're done the other one and working from cover to cover. The first couple chapters are hard to parse. I feel a lot of it is under-explained and just sort of thrown at you like "there you go", and this is after the I read the Geometry for Dummies book. There is a tendency as the book goes on to give you a pat on the back and say things like: "You should be an expert at this by now!" after you've done literally a single question on that particular topic, and then it just throws you the answer without explanation. There is nowhere near enough room to put any actual answers on the pages of this book, so it would've been nice to use that wasted space with a breakdown of each step of a solution to the problems. Often vague terms with strange italics as emphasis are used in the answers rather than just providing a small illustration to demonstrate what is being meant, and often this just made go on the internet to find out what the book was talking about so I could learn it there. Overall this book taught me a lot indirectly, but the way that it accomplished this was showing me what I didn't know and then providing such a lacking explanation as to how the answer was achieved that I went to read about the topics it "covered" on the internet or watched a youtube video about them.

Muy bien explicado.

One of my favourite books on geometry, I highly recommend it.

Bought this book to get updated enough to help my daughter with her homework. I only remember doing a bit of this stuff at school & I`m finding it heavy going to understand everything. I`ll give it a bit more time & study to see how far I can get until my brain`s in gear. A decent book if you can understand it.
