Self study supplements for geometry?

[QUOTE="QuantumCurt, post: 4455881, member: 478308"] Yeah, I feel like it would be a very good idea. I'm starting calculus in the fall, and the calc teacher I'm going to have is also a geometry teacher. I've been warned that he likes to incorporate a lot of geometry into his calculus fairly early on. I'm going through the textbook that I have. It's actually the text that he uses in his geometry classes. Very heavily oriented on proof writing. I've gotten through the first two chapters so far today, but these are the very basic chapters on points, lines and planes. Simple stuff that I basically already know intuitively, but I'm forcing myself to take the time to understand it all formally, so I can build up some proof writing skills. I'm fairly comfortable with most of the measurement formulas already, I just need to go through and learn the "why this works" aspects of it. As far as the basic properties of lines and angles and whatnot goes, that stuffs basically just intuitive. I think it will be very beneficial to get a better grasp on it. I'll be taking differential geometry, and other geometry type courses like tensor analysis sometime down the line, so having a solid knowledge of the basics should be beneficial. By the way, are you the same TomServo from College Confidential? I'm comfortablycurt over there. [/QUOTE]
