Introduction -- Part 1: Getting started with geometry basics (Chapter 1 Introducing geometry -- Chapter 2 Building your geometric foundation -- Chapter 3 Sizing up segments and analyzing angles) Part 2: Introducing proofs (Chapter 4 Prelude to proofs -- Chapter 5 Your starter kit of easy theorems and short proofs -- Chapter 6 The ultimate guide to tackling a longer proof) Part 3: Triangles: polygons of the three-sided variety (Chapter 7 Grasping triangle fundamentals -- Chapter 8 Regarding right triangles -- Chapter 9 Completing congruent triangle proofs) Part 4 Polygons of the four-or-more-sided variety (Chapter 10 The seven wonders of the quadrilateral world -- Chapter 11 Proving that you have a particular quadrilateral -- Chapter 12 Polygon formulas: area, angles, and diagonals -- Chapter 13 Similarity: same shape, different size) Part 5 Working with not-so-vicious circles (Chapter 14 Coming around to circle basics -- Chapter 15 Circle formulas and theorems) Part 6 Going deep with 3-D geometry (Chapter 16 3-D space: proofs in a higher plane of existence -- Chapter 17 Getting a grip on solid geometry) Part 7 Placement, points, and pictures: alternative geometry topics (Chapter 18 Coordinate geometry -- Chapter 19 Changing the scene with geometric transformations -- Chapter 20 Locating loci and constructing constructions) Part 8 The part of tens (Chapter 21 Ten things to use as reasons in geometry proofs -- Chapter 22 Ten cool geometry problems)
Students studying geometry in school will certainly learn about lines and angles, circles and triangles, and they'll find everything they need to master those topics. But Geometry is so much more than shapes! Proofs are at the heart of any Geometry course, and they're most often where students struggle. Geometry For Dummies, 3rd Edition, is overflowing with helpful and practical, plain-English information about proofs to help students succeed. --Publisher's description.
