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...

A mathematician draws on scientific findings about the role of symmetry in understanding the dynamic relationship between objects, exploring such topics as the theory of fundamental particles, the role of symmetry in evolutionary biology, and the discovery of an enormous dimensional space snowflake.

"Pyramids are world-famous structures in Egypt, but they're also important 3-D solids that are essential for even the youngest mathematician to understand. This beneficial book, a support to the elementary math curriculum, presents pyramids in the form of objects found in the real world. From toys to lamps, readers will recognize the flat base, triangular sides, and pointed apex that indicate a shape is a pyramid. Colorful photographs perfectly correlate...

Just the critical concepts you need to score high in geometry. This practical, friendly guide focuses on critical concepts taught in a typical geometry course, from the properties of triangles, parallelograms, circles, and cylinders, to the skills and strategies you need to write geometry proofs. Geometry Essentials For Dummies is perfect for cramming or doing homework, or as a reference for parents helping kids study for exams.

"Shape reveals the geometry underneath some of the most important scientific, political, and philosophical problems we face. Geometry asks: Where are things? Which things are near each other? How can you get from one thing to another thing? Those are important questions. Geometry doesn't just measure the world--it explains it. Shape shows us how"-- Provided by publisher.
