• Geometry review on schaum's outline
  For the most part this book is great as a tutorial with ample exercises that provide critical thinking pertaining to proving triangles congruent and reasoing in general. Thats the way geometry should be taught critical thinking unlike most books that regurgitate and are watered down. Even though this book is modern, its not as great as plane geometry munro 1959, theres not ample exercises on tedious proofs. My favorite sections are proving quadrilaterals are parallelograms and areas of polygons because... more info

• Not horrible, not great...
  I got this book as review of basic geometry. Mostly because they never made a Forgotten Geometry text. It's really not bad. It covers quite a bit of ground, from simple geometry to a taste of analytical and transformational geometry.
  Conversely, this book didn't wow me either. It covers some basic algebra in the beginning, which is fine for the easier formulas like area and perimeter, but not nearly enough for a comprehensive study of geometry. One should study Schaum's outline of Intermediate Algebra... more info

• Good for basic refresher
  I bought this book as a recommended book for a masters Geometry class I was taking. While the concepts of my class were far more advanced than this book, the content of the book made remembering about the geometry and basics (probably good through hs geometry) more clear. I good book to take you through high school geometry.

• Caution - There are Mistakes
  I bought this book to use with my daughter for added drill and review of Geometry and was shocked to find an inaccurate mathematical statement after the Commutative Law of Multiplication (3a X 5 = 5 X 2a = 10a) and three errors in the solutions provided to practice questions in the first eight pages. I haven't ventured further, but based on my experience thus far, I will need to review every example and problem for accuracy, something I hadn't planned to do and shouldn't need to do.
