Geometry and Discrete Mathematics notes?? Resources?

Hello everyone, I'm going to take Geometry and Discrete Mathematics, next year in high school (grade 12). So this summer I'm planning to read some books that would help me out next year, to bulit up my basic skills. So anyone know any sites or books that would help me out somehow?

Thanks.

I took logic concurrently with discrete math and that worked really well. The proofs in symbolic logic help you get used to the discrete math proofs. They help give you a feeling that you really do know what's going on. Depending on your course, you'll probably do some logic actually in the discrete math course too.

http://people.hofstra.edu/faculty/Stefan_Waner/RealWorld/logic/logicintro.html looks like a pretty good resource for introductory logic.

http://home.earthlink.net/~lfdean/carroll/puzzles/logic.html has a lot of problems that can be solved by thinking them through, but using symbolic logic makes them easier.

http://www.public.coe.edu/~pmccormi/phl115/s02/exercises.html
has a bunch of problems. For symbolic logic (you may want to skip the aristotelian stuff) you should scroll down to the links labeled Natural Deduction Exercises and the exercises below them.

The book I used for my logic course was "The Power of Logic."

yea there were a lot of proofing involed and i don't know how to start when i see questions like those, thanks for your tip~ & resources~
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
