AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking high school-level books that provide explanations and solutions for specific geometry problems. Key topics include the Exterior Angle Bisector Theorem, which states that the external angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side externally in the ratio of the sides containing the angle, typically applicable to non-equilateral triangles. Additionally, the discussion includes problems involving a cube and a regular tetrahedron, specifically calculating distances and lengths related to these shapes. Recommendations for suitable texts include Kiselev's geometry books and "The Art of Problem Solving: Introduction to Geometry" as well as "Euclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads" by Evan Chen, with an emphasis on proof-heavy content being acceptable.

I am looking for books that contain explanations (or to be able to answer) about something like this:

1) Exterior Angle Bisector Theorem
The external angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side externally in the ratio of the sides containing the angle. This condition occurs usually in non-equilateral triangles.

2) Given cube ABCDEFGH with side 2 units and line DF passes through plane ABGH at point T. Find distance ET

3) Given regular tetrahedron TABC with side 3 cm. M is mid point of AT and N is mid point of BC. Find length of MNAny books are ok but preferably high school level.

Thank you

Is a proof-heavy text okay?

no problem
 
Try the two geometry books by Kiselev, or the Art of Problem Solving Introduction to Geometry or Euclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads by Evan Chen
 
Thank you very much Muu9
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
