A revised, updated edition of this classic Schaum’s Outline which has sold approximately 1,100,000 copies since 1968. The book is completely modernized both in terms of mathematical content and language. Lists of formulas for derivatives and integrals have definitions and explanations added for easier understanding and some material on analytic geometry has been added. There are over 1,000 solved problems and hundreds of supplementary problems.

Kids most frequent geometry questions answered by expert math teachers This easy-to-follow resource is a must for any student who has questions about geometry basics. With an entertaining tone and lots of illustrations, the experts at the Math Forum help students gain the knowledge they'll need to tackle the topics in a beginning geometry curriculum, from definitions of two- and three-dimensional figures to the Pythagorean theorem and finding the volume of a cylinder. The Math Doctors also provide clear explanations, real-world examples, and helpful tips for solving the problems beginning geometry students find most challenging.
This is a book on Euclidean geometry that covers the standard material in a completely new way, while also introducing a number of new topics that would be suitable as a junior-senior level undergraduate textbook. The author does not begin in the traditional manner with abstract geometric axioms. Instead, he assumes the real numbers, and begins his treatment by introducing such modern concepts as a metric space, vector space notation, and groups, and thus lays a rigorous basis for geometry while at the same time giving the student tools that will be useful in other courses.
