AVOID this Seller
| Customer Rating: | | I purchased a book "Geometry for Enjoyment and Challenge" which was in the worst condition I have seen a book in. The seller does not respect or value books. He claimed it was in acceptable condition but the school wouldn't accept it as a replacment. The seller said he would refund the purchased price and I returned the book but have not received a refund. |
Great book and a great challenge
| Customer Rating: | | This geometry book is not for the weak. Forget about the days of purely computational geometry. This book is all about proofs. I have found myself learning a great deal about geometry, though. |
Excellent
| Customer Rating: | | Don't have others to compare, but is a very good Geometry book for 9th graders. |
Excellent Book
| Customer Rating: | I think Geometry for Enjoyment and challenge is an excellent book. Be warned this book is not for everybody because it is challenging, and only a truly motivated student will excel using this book. What I like about this book is that it is not watered down like a lot of Geometry books. The problem with Americas schools are that Geometry Teachers dont teach the subject the right way either by not teaching the material or they teach the students to maximize their test score by regurgitating concepts. This book contradicts several books. This book forces you to think critically like a Mathematician. The best and strongest part of the book are the teaching of proofs (flow chart, Paragraph, and Two-column). Some proofs take 15 to 16 steps.
That is what one of the several things I like about this book, this provides a spark to truly motivated students.
Other strong points are areas of geometric figures, there are problems that involve finding the areas of squares inscribed in circles finding the shaded segment of a hexagon inscribed in a circle. Most geometry books do not have problems of that nature.
One major gripe is that I wish on the solid geometry section, they would put problems involving the areas of a decagonal prism, dodecagonal prism, 20 sided pyramids. Given that this book is easy to say is the most challenging geometry book of all books in America concerning geometry. I wish they would put centimeters, inches, etc. as opposed to units when calculating the perimeter, volume, and surface area.
Other than that it is a great book. I wish this was the standard of geometry books because Americas students need to be challenged, a lot of students want to be challenged. This book does that. In conclusion, this geometry book is the champagne of geometry books.
I enjoyed solving problems from this book on my spare time. I had a horrible experience with a geometry Teacher Named Don Steinke at Fort Vancouver High School in Vancouver, Washington. This idiot could not teach if his life depended on it.
