The Cartoon Guide to Geometry: An Illustrated and Comprehensive Mathematical Primer on Geometry

This was approved by my math department. Everything is well explained with comics. We wished that these were around when we were in college. It covers so many issues that kids tend to stumble on. Great resource!

Larry Gonick is the greatest teacher I have ever come across All and any of his books are worth your time--both student and teacher I've taught Statistics using Goonick, and my students related to and learned from him what the regular textbook could not and did not do Goonick is a national treasure

Well, Larry Gonick did it again! His Algebra cartoon guide was so engaging! My kids both really enjoyed it and were referring and revisiting it throughout the year. My son really enjoyed the geometry one as well!

Best way to get students that are not interested intrigued so that way it keeps their interest with some humor . They say it’s best to learn while having fun . This is it !

Bought this to help our teen and it's great!

I opened the package with the book in it a few minutes ago. The book has so much wear on it, and tears, no way it's new. The images inside are nice and clear and overall it seems like a good find.

I finally understand where the formulas I was made to learn in Geometry 30+ yrs ago come from. Got this for our 8th grader. He is struggling in Geometry. Tough teacher with a strong Korean accent who talks really fast. So we are bringing in the support. It is helping. He is not as thrilled to learn where the formulas come from as I am. I am trusting that it is helping.

User friendly for 12 years old.

Last of Larry Gonick opus to date, the Cartoon Guide to Geometry. This cartoon guide features the same qualities as the other mathematical cartoon guide by the same author. It is at the same time very precise and rigorous, with actual definitions, theorems, and proofs, and delightful, pleasant, and even some times fun. It contains true geometry, and it offers it to just curious readers. It is the contrary to "Let no one ignorant of geometry enter"! It is "Enter, non-geometer, I will do my best to explain you!". It covers lines and segments, lengths and angles, triangles and polygons. It also covers enough formal logic to conduct all the proofs in the most clear and rigorous way. I recommend it, for pupils and teachers, for curious people, for pure pleasure.
