Art of Problem Solving Introduction to Geometry Textbook and Solutions Manual 2-Book Set

After tutoring my son using this book, I decided to use it with students who were recovering Geometry credit in summer school because they failed the course. As you have probably guessed, I’m a math teacher. With a guide who has had plenty of college math and pedagogical experience to introduce the material and engage the students, the carefully curated problems in the book inspired some deep conversations and aha moments for many of them. Gets right to the point, not unnecessarily wordy… On the other hand, perhaps not the right choice for people who only want to learn geometry for carpentry or design or other real life situations. Can be magic in the hands of a real math teacher.

Totally different from other geometry texts. Most such books are plodding and dull; this one is lively and clever. It's just what you would expect from a real mathematician (as opposed to "math educator") with a gift for exposition.My daughter is mathematically gifted and she is doing well with it. I'm not sure how well it would work for less gifted children --- not to say it wouldn't work, but I'd guess that if a child is not so talented then "plodding and dull" might be just what they need.

Very good book, recommended to every student

The author has written this geometry in easy to understand terms. I recommend it to anyone.

Great amounts of thought, time, effort, and even love for both the student and the subject have obviously been invested in producing the entire Art of Problem Solving series. Painstakingly presented with small steps leading gradually from initial to more advanced concepts, making this series very useful for both classroom and self-study. Coupled with the companion Solutions Manuals, it is hard to imagine better textbooks covering all phases of mathematics. Thanks guys, great job!!!

I got it for a class I'm taking and I love that it has a solution book. I will be becoming a math teacher, and I love the structure of this book. I'm sure I need more practice with it, but I could see this one coming to a future classroom with me.

Very useful and essential for geometry. Includes everything a middle schooler needs to know about geometric things, and is also a great boost for preparing for competitions.

This book has taught my son much about geometry. I highly recommend this book to anyone studying for the SHSAT.
