Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants suggest various high school geometry books, including those by Holt and Jurgensen, and discuss the authors and publishers associated with these texts. Some express the challenge of finding books with sufficient exercises.

Discussion Status

Several participants have provided book recommendations and shared insights about the authors and publishers. There is an ongoing exploration of suitable resources, but no consensus has been reached on a single recommended book.

Contextual Notes

Participants note that the original poster is looking for books with practice problems, indicating a preference for resources that align with their current studies in trigonometry.

Homework Statement



I am currently taking trig, I also want to study geometry on the side... I am currently reading a book called master geometry however it doesn't have any practive problems... are there any good geometry books that someone can recommend?
thank you.

Any high school Geometry book should be fine. Look for Holt Geometry (the publisher is Holt), or look for a book with the main author of Jurgensen listed with others.

I think Holt merged with McDougal Littell, so now it's Holt McDougal. The book title is now "Holt McDougal Geometry" and the main author is Burger.

Ah, that would be Jurgensen, Brown, and Jurgensen. This book is published by McDougal Littell, I mean Holt McDougal. They go together with the Algebra: Structure & Method books by Dolciani. We use the Geometry book at my school (though I myself never taught from it, as I am currently not teaching Geometry).
 


Here is an old book with a bunch of exercises. It is from before the time of computers so relies a little too much on constructing solutions but some of the exercises should be relevant. You could read through them and choose the ones you would like to solve, ones that match whatever you are learning in Mastering Geometry.

I suggest this because finding good exercises is difficult.

(Or just get another geometry book, one with exercises...)
