About this product

Product Information

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: Understanding lines and angles Working up a geometry proof All those funny shapes: circles, rectangles, triangles, and the ever versatile polygon Having your Pi and eating it, too Taking the next step into trigonometry Doing someone a solid: Exploring prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres Top Ten list of cool careers that use geometry and tips for making geometry easier Appendices with formulas, theorems, and other helpful geometry resources 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.

Very fast shipping. Somewhat disappointed that the edition received is not the edition pictured in the listing. The listing itself clarifies this though, so that’s mostly my fault for not reading closer. Still happy with the purchase and service.

  • Consumers Should Buy This Book

    Don't assume anybody in America knows anything. If they look stupid they probably are. Buy a book like this to make sure your supposed "Contractor" has some sort of handle on math. (Most will not) Yet you will let them loose on or in your home. Anything based on math is a good bet the worker hasn't got a clue about it since he is a product of piss poor educational system that we are paying top dollar for. Most of our teacher are in it for a nine month job and no cost health insurance and the average of two retirement plans. This country is way down on the educational "totum pole" so buy yourself some protection found in a book like this. You can either cehck their math or preferably do it for them. If you are as fussy as I am you may want to have your job done right with the corners ...

  • Best way to learn geometry.

    I bought this book to help me prepare for a state certification test and it explains the subject better than college texts. I haven't finished reading it yet but, so far, there is nothing not to like. The material is presented in an easy to follow manner. The 'For Dummies' books are a very well written series and I would recommend them for whatever needs you may have.

  • Highly recommended

    This was alot if help!! Highly recommend it!

  • Geometry for Dummies

    I needed this book for my son whom is in High School and taking Geometry. He is having the hardest time trying to grasp it. Now he can look at this book and get the explanation on how to do the problems. This is so helpful.
