Geometry is hard. This book makes it easier. You do the math. This is the fourth title in the series designed to help high school and college students through a course they'd rather not be taking. A non-intimidating, easy- to-understand companion to their textbook, this book takes students through the standard curriculum of topics, including proofs, polygons, coordinates, topology, and much more.

The only tutor that struggling calculus students will need Aimed at those who actually need to learn calculus in order to pass the class they are in or are about to take, rather than an advanced audience.

• Follows a standard course curriculum • Includes both polar coordinates and complex numbers, unlike the competition

Presents an introduction to understanding Calculus, providing information on its origins, a refresher on basic algebra, a review of trigonometry, logarithms, matrix operations, and other topics.

Hit the geometry wall? Get up and running with this no-nonsense guide! Does the thought of geometry make you jittery? You're not alone. Fortunately, this down-to-earth guide helps you approach it from a new angle, making it easier than ever to conquer your fears and score your highest in geometry. From getting started with geometry basics to making friends with lines and angles, you'll be proving triangles congruent, calculating circumference, using formulas, and serving up pi in no time. Geometry is a subject full of mathematical richness and beauty. But it's a subject that bewilders many students because it's so unlike the math they've done before—it requires the use of deductive logic in formal proofs. If you're having a hard time wrapping your mind around what that even means, you've come to the right place! Inside, you'll find out how a proof's chain of logic works and even discover some secrets for getting past rough spots along the way. You don't have to be a math genius to grasp geometry, and this book helps you get un-stumped in a hurry! Find out how to decode complex geometry proofs Learn to reason deductively and inductively Make sense of angles, arcs, area, and more Improve your chances of scoring higher in your geometry class There's no reason to let your nerves get jangled over geometry—your understanding will take new shape with the help of Geometry For Dummies.
