Introduction to Geometry
Richard RusczykLearn the fundamentals of geometry from former USA Mathematical
Olympiad winner Richard Rusczyk. Topics covered in the book include
similar triangles, congruent triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons,
circles, funky areas, power of a point, three-dimensional geometry,
transformations, and much more.
The text is structured to inspire the reader to explore and develop
new ideas. Each section starts with problems, so the student has a
chance to solve them without help before proceeding. The text then
includes solutions to these problems, through which geometric techniques
are taught. Important facts and powerful problem solving approaches
are highlighted throughout the text. In addition to the instructional
material, the book contains over 900 problems. The solutions manual
contains full solutions to all of the problems, not just answers.
This book can serve as a complete geometry course, and is ideal for
students who have mastered basic algebra, such as solving linear
equations. Middle school students preparing for MATHCOUNTS, high school
students preparing for the AMC, and other students seeking to master the
fundamentals of geometry will find this book an instrumental part of
their mathematics libraries.
