Does anyone know about any good (advanced) geometry book?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the search for an advanced synthetic geometry book that includes both theory and practical exercises. The user expressed disappointment with "College Geometry" by David A. Brannan, which primarily focuses on triangle construction rather than providing a variety of exercises. Recommendations include the geometry book by Serge Lang, which is noted for its effectiveness in preparing for high school math contests. Users are encouraged to seek resources that emphasize problem-solving and practical applications in geometry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of synthetic geometry concepts
  • Familiarity with mathematical problem-solving techniques
  • Basic knowledge of geometry theory
  • Experience with high school mathematics competitions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Geometry" by Serge Lang for comprehensive exercises
  • Explore additional advanced geometry textbooks that focus on problem-solving
  • Investigate online resources or forums dedicated to geometry practice problems
  • Consider joining math contest preparation groups for peer recommendations
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students, educators, and math enthusiasts seeking advanced geometry resources that emphasize practical exercises and problem-solving skills.

Hi, recently I've tried to find a good sintetic geometry book with both theory and exercises. Many people said well about this one

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486458059/?tag=pfamazon01-20

College Geometry. I've bought it and I've got so disappointed. I want a book that has exercises for you to probe/demonstrate, find angles, sides... This one only tells you to construct a triangle given 3 things (and I'm not kidding, 90% of the book is to construct a triangle)

I don't want a book like this (if you know what I mean), I want a book with real exercises/probes


Do anyone know a book where I can find this?
