Essential Geometry: A Self-Teaching Guide

This no-nonsense guide provides students and self-learners with a clear and readable study of geometry's most important ideas. Tim Hill's distraction-free approach combines decades of tutoring experience with the methods of his old-school Russian math teachers. The result: learn in a few days what conventional schools stretch into months.

- Teaches general principles that can be applied to a wide variety of problems.
