Whether you are studying geometry afresh or are now simply reviewing the subject, it will be worth your while to consider for a moment where this branch of mathematics came from, what it is about, and what you may hope to gain from its study. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
There is no such thing as a student who is "slow" in understanding. There is however a teacher who does not master the art of communicating. A good student memorizes in order to pass a grade. A slow student is normally bugged by the "why" of everything. However I have had the honor of solving engineering problems for students from MIT and other top Universities because my professors were able to explain the "why" to me.
Mr. Peter H. Selby is an excellent author. You flow through his pages without having to read over paragraphs several times in order to understand the sense of his explanations without stress and fatigue. There is no guessing nor ambiguous wording. It is difficult to put down his book for the day. I look forward to his future books.

Succinct overview and excellent refresher...
14 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book will serve you well as a refresher in geometry and trig. Major facets of both subjects are dealt with in a brief but highly effective manner. There are just the right number of examples and exercises. This book can also be used as a auxillary text for first year college students. What a pleasure to read and DO some of the problems. I wish I had this crutch when I was sweating bullets learning calculus back in 1961. The trig portion is somewhat shallow but all in all a excellent book.

Great book
12 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
I like the no non-sense presentation of the material. The book moves very quickly. It is dense in topics, but the presentation is very readable. You'll often wonder why you're not further into the book... yet you feel that you have really covered a lot of material.
The explanations are great. And I have found that by answering the questions, that I catch tiny little mistakes in my understanding.
I picked up this book after a debate with one of my friends over a trig question. I am very satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend this book.
