About this product

Product Information

Geometry is one of the oldest mathematical subjects in history. Unfortunately, few geometry study guides offer clear explanations, causing many people to get tripped up or lost when trying to solve a proof--even when they know the terms and concepts like the back of their hand. However, this problem can be fixed with practice and some strategies for slicing through all the mumbo-jumbo and getting right to the heart of the proof. "Geometry Workbook For Dummies" ensures that practice makes perfect, especially when problems are presented without the stiff, formal style that you'd find in your math textbook. Written with a commonsense, street-smart approach, this guide gives you the step-by-step process to solve each proof, along with tips, shortcuts, and mnemonic devices to make sure the solutions stick. It also gives you plenty of room to work out your solutions, providing you with space to breathe and a clear head. This book provides you with the tools you need to solve all types of geometry problems, including: Congruent triangles Finding the area, angle, and size of quadrilaterals Angle-arc theorems and formulas Touching radii and tangents Connecting radii and chords Parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines and planes Slope, distance, and midpoint formulas Line and circle equations Handling rotations, reflections, and other transformations Packed with tons of strategies for solving proofs and a review of key concepts, "Geometry Workbook For Dummies" is the ultimate study aid for students, parents, and anyone with an interest in the field.

There's no "right" way to spend, says Knuckey, a personal finance consultant who calls her system "coaching" not "counseling," since "you may never understand the details" of your feelings about money, but "you can still change your behavior." Happily, her behavior modification plan involves no pennypinching, few rules and not much of that "bword"(budgeting), which is about as much fun as dieting. The bottom line to Knuckey's system is her focus on "Conscious Spending," which means only buying what really makes you happy. While there are the obligatory passages on the trap of escalating wants and the ballandchain of debt, her main message is positive: focus on satisfying yourself, and you'll never lack motivation. Apart from such truisms, there are occasional mentions of more radical notions, like the idea that having enough is a very real concept for people who have come to the end of their "journey of selfexpression." Knuckey's program is basically sensible and unthreatening, low on "shoulds" and sprinkled with humor. Her own persona] lifetime spending program, for instance, assumes "that I will die broke" why support lazy heirs? And, she advises, don't play the lottery: "if you want to buy hope, buy a drink at a singles bar!" By the end of the book, a complex budgeting plan sneaks in anyway, but readers who've gotten that tar won't mind. Forecast: While there's no dearth of personal finance selfhelp books on the market, Knuckey's downtoearth tone should appeal to 20somethings, especially considering her online presence, detailed in the book's final pages. Publisher's Weekly In The Ms. Spent Money Guide, Deborah Knuckey wants everyone to be a conscious spender. You know, someone who never buys things spontaneously and never purchases things they never use. (The kind of sensible person, in short, who is the opposite of the heroine in the funny bestselling novel, Confessions of a Shopaholic.) No one makes you spend money, but experts spend a lot of time and money making it hard to resist. "Advertiser' and marketers' success depends on their ability to link their products with your wants, and increase the volume until you can make a purchase. Think you can pit your selfwill against their sophisticated marketing? It's tough," she writes. The way around this pressure: Be aware of what triggers you to spend so freely. That, of course, is a lot easier said than done. But she does have exercises to put you into a less lavish frame of mind. One exercise: Take 5 minutes to write down all the influences that put you into a shopping mode when did you first hear of the product? Did friends or colleagues egg you on? Do you know someone who has something similar are you keeping up with the Joneses? The problem with conscious spending is that it requires a delicate balance of today's wants and tomorrow's needs. Knuckey says it can be painless by following her spending model. This hierarchy places the soul at the top of the pyramid. The soul category encompasses travel, vacation home, cable, books, music, hobbies, sports, massages, manicures and jewelry, among other things. After that come expenses for things like food, shelter. Security is the foundation of the pyramid, which includes insurance, retirement planning, emergency expense funds and debt management. A strong security base means you're less vulnerable to unexpected circumstances, such as illness, divorce, unemployment or business failure. Of course there is a hitch. Under this plan, you have to fulfill the security foundation before you can float to the top and then buy the fun stuff.Juliette Fairley, Special for USA TODAY, April 23, 2001
