Please... Can some one suggest something if they know? I would really like to study it?

The dover book on gemoetry, from euclid to knots looks good but I don't own it.

 

[Miike012]

Well as long as it has problems that I can work with so I can have some practice that should be good...
Im tryng to find a free online book because I don't have much money right now so if some one knows where I can download a geo. book that would be great to.

How do you intend to get useful responses if you gave no attempt at a solution?

 

[Miike012]

Many solutions are better than one solution so I am asking for more peoples thoughts on where to get a book.

Aboughantous: High School Geometry - A First Course

Solomonovich: Euclidean Geometry - A First Course

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0387966544/?tag=pfamazon01-20

I am in the middle of working through these three as I've never studied geometry proper
either. After a long search these are the only ones I found worth anything. You can buy
the first two as e-books for like $7 or so if you shop around.

 

[Miike012]

Thank you... I will check them out... I am willing to buy one of them, which one looks the best to you because I am unfamilliar with geometry...?

That's really up to you, I personally would recommend getting all three, starting with the
Aboughantous one because it's the shortest & would give you a good feel for what's going
on. Read the preface's for the books & the amazon comments for the Lang book, I certainly
felt all three were necessary for me but you might not think so.

Just get on google books; they have dozens of old geometry books you can download, e.g.

[Miike012]

Are all geo. book basically the same or are they all diff? I kind of want one that will help me with trig.

If you order Aboughantous' book from the publisher, because of your status as selflearner you will qualify for a free copy of the solution manual. It contains detailed solutions of all the problems in the book.

good luck
