INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THIS BOOK AND WHEN SHOULD I USE IT?
Fast Track: Geometry is a one-stop guide meant to help you keep up with your courseor to accelerate your content expertise. Whether youre a crammer, visual learner, or high-level student looking for extra review, this book is filled to the brim with information that youll benefit from knowing (or brushing up on). Weve taken every opportunity to translate key content into friendly and succinct formats, with annotated illustrations showing every part of important theorems of geometry and much more. In shortwhich is the point of this bookthink of the following material as a fantastic set of class notes.
This book is pocket-sized because its meant to be used whenever and wherever you want. Waiting on a late friend? Spend some time with quadrilaterals! Have some time to kill before practice? Warm up with a little trigonometry refresh! These are bite-sized topics that you can pick up and put down at your own pace. Whether you need it for a last-minute review or as a supplement for your class, youll find no judgment here. Remember: its never too late (or too early) to start studying.
THIS ISNT STANDARDIZED TEST PREP
What you wont find here are test-taking strategies or practice questions for a specific standardized test, like the AP, ACT, or SAT; for that kind of focus, check out our test-specific Math titles online or at your local bookstore.
WHAT DOES THIS BOOK COVER?
The start of this book takes you all the way back to the fundamental building blocks of all things: vocab. We will explore key terms from geometry in depth, and pay attention to that first chapter, because everything builds from there. Once we have the foundation laid, we will explore properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, and circles. We will review congruence and similarity, continuing on to constructions and transformations. Then we will progress to three-dimensional figures. Finally, we cover how to do geometric proofs.
In short, this book covers all of the geometry contentand probably then somethat you would study in a high school geometry class! This means that whether youre cramming for your classs final exam or prepping for an AP or SAT-level test in geometry, this book can help you get thereon the fast track.
HOW DO I USE THIS BOOK?
Think of this book like a toolkit: figure out what youre trying to accomplish, and then choose the part that works best for your schedule and your needs.
