Are you a befuddled math student who's struggling with geometry? The Humongous Book of Geometry Problems is like no other geometry workbook on the market and is the answer for anyone who doesn’t speak math. Bestselling author W. Michael Kelley helps make otherwise baffling solutions perfectly clear by taking a typical geometry workbook, filling it with solved problems, and making notes in the margins to add missing steps and simplify concepts. By learning how to interpret and solve problems as they are presented in courses, students will become fully prepared to solve even the most obscure geometry problem. No more solving by trial and error! Here’s what you’ll find in this this fun and simple guide: • 1000 geometry problems and solutions, each solved to completion • Annotations and helpful notes for each problem to help clarify the solutions and fill in the missing steps needed to reach the solutions • Coverage of all the critical geometry concepts, with each explained in detail and in simple, straightforward language that any student can grasp and apply Review: Don't go after name... - It has very least Geometry questions.Don't be misguided by book name. Review: (Too) elementary, my dear Watson! - For the sake of full disclosure, I did not buy this book. I only saw the problems on the pages shared in the app, and, based on those, it seems to be a very elementary level text, bordering on the childish even! For example, one question asks for three alternative names for an angle!!

(Too) elementary, my dear Watson!

Useful guide for studying and understanding geometry
The book gives clear and detailed answers to example questions. The book includes a large number of example proofs, but it would be useful if it gave more detail on strategies for writing proofs.

Every problem worked out in detail, with extra explanation if you get stuck
I picked this up for my 15-year-old, who’s working through high-school geometry. It ended up covering pretty much everything they covered in his curriculum, so the breadth was perfect. Every problem in the book is worked out in detail which you might see as a positive or a negative - on the one hand, if the student gets stuck, they can view each step. On the other hand, there are far fewer actual exercises than you might expect given the page count. Still, every topic is covered thoughtfully and completely. For what it’s worth, he got an A in the class : )

A good Reference Book
I've had this book a little over a month now. It has taught me a lot as far as the concept of Geometry. It has proofs that makes you understand how geometry is to be looked at, and how to approach a geometry problem if you came across one. But, after reading about a little less than half the book, I must say that this book is not meant to be studied from as a primary source of "teaching your self geometry". It is really a good reference book. Yes it does go indepth on the teachings the fundamentals of solving a geometry figure. And I must say that it does it thoroughly, even at nausea. But, if you're trying to get some practice, which what really counts when taking tests like the GMAT, you need a Book of Problems to solve on your own recognisent to really get you acclimated to all these concepts you may need to be ready for what ever test you're taking. Good book, but it is really best used as a secondary tool if you don't understand how to do a certain problem.
