Get up and running with this no-nonsense guide!\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes the thought of geometry make you jittery? You're not alone. Fortunately, this down-to-earth guide helps you approach it from a new angle, making it easier than ever to conquer your fears and score your highest in geometry. From getting started with geometry basics to making friends with lines and angles, you'll be proving triangles congruent, calculating circumference, using formulas, and serving up pi in no time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeometry is a subject full of mathematical richness and beauty. But it's a subject that bewilders many students because it's so unlike the math they've done before--it requires the use of deductive logic in formal proofs. If you're having a hard time wrapping your mind around what that even means, you've come to the right place! Inside, you'll find out how a proof's chain of logic works and even discover some secrets for getting past rough spots along the way. You don't have to be a math genius to grasp geometry, and this book helps you get un-stumped in a hurry! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind out how to decode complex geometry proofs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn to reason deductively and inductively\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sense of angles, arcs, area, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprove your chances of scoring higher in your geometry class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's no reason to let your nerves get jangled over geometry--your understanding will take new shape with the help of \u003ci\u003eGeometry For Dummies\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan, Mark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e For Dummies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2016-07-05\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Mathematics \/ Geometry \/ Algebraic|Education \/ Teaching \/ Subjects - Mathematics|Mathematics \/ Geometry \/ Analytic|Mathematics \/ Reference\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Geometry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.2 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119181552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9781119181552\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"For Dummies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52425759588633,"sku":"SP-9781119181552","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9781119181552_spiral.png?v=1779484487","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/geometry-for-dummies","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
