This is a study guide written primarily for middle and high schoolers in order for them to learn relevant math concepts at their level. There is an introduction before each chapter that describes what will be covered. Chapter 7 discusses similarity, which explains the ratio between two numbers, discern proportions and their properties, identifies the properties of similar polygons, and proves that two triangles can be similar with different postulates and theorems, as well as learning how to identify dilations and its properties. Chapter 8 covers right triangles, which demonstrates how to solve problems involving similar triangles formed by the altitude that is perpendicular to the hypotenuse, finding the lengths of the sides of a triangle with the Pythagorean Theorem, using side lengths to classify triangles and angles measures and finding their length in special right triangles, and to find the magnitude and direction of a vector. Chapter 9 deals with circles that discuss segments and lines related to circles, use properties of tangents, arcs, and chords of a circle as well as the properties of inscribed angles and inscribed polygons of a circle, and finding and graphing the equation of a circle. Chapter 10 teaches areas of polygons and circles, which can describe the angle measures of polygons, the areas of regular polygons as well as the perimeters and areas of similar figures, the circumference and arc length of circles, and the areas of circles and their sectors. Each concept has a step-by-step explanation on how to approach the problems. Afterwards, there is a self- test that assesses the knowledge of the student, and at the end of the book, there is a review test that examines the student's knowledge of all the previous chapters.

This book introduces the reader to modern algebraic geometry. It presents Grothendieck's technically demanding language of schemes that is the basis of the most important developments in the last fifty years within this area. A systematic treatment and motivation of the theory is emphasized, using concrete examples to illustrate its usefulness. Several examples from the realm of Hilbert modular surfaces and of determinantal varieties are used methodically to discuss the covered techniques. Thus the reader experiences that the further development of the theory yields an ever better understanding of these fascinating objects. The text is complemented by many exercises that serve to check the comprehension of the text, treat further examples, or give an outlook on further results. The volume at hand is an introduction to schemes. To get startet, it requires only basic knowledge in abstract algebra and topology. Essential facts from commutative algebra are assembled in an appendix. It will be complemented by a second volume on the cohomology of schemes.

Simply put, geometry is known as the study of shapes. But if you dig deeper into the concept, you will find that it's actually more than that. This quick study guide provides an in-dept analysis of this mathematical concept. It was written with the intent to remind you of the basics in order to smoothly transition to the more complex geometric theories. Grab a copy now!

Harold Jacobs’s Geometry created a revolution in the approach to teaching this subject, one that gave rise to many ideas now seen in the NCTM Standards. Since its publication nearly one million students have used this legendary text. Suitable for either classroom use or self-paced study, it uses innovative discussions, cartoons, anecdotes, examples, and exercises that unfailingly capture and hold student interest. This edition is the Jacobs for a new generation. It has all the features that have kept the text in class by itself for nearly 3 decades, all in a thoroughly revised, full-color presentation that shows today’s students how fun geometry can be. The text remains proof-based although the presentation is in the less formal paragraph format. The approach focuses on guided discovery to help students develop geometric intuition.
