Book Reviews of Geometry Revisited (Mathematical Association of America Textbooks)

Book Review: An excellent book on elementary Euclidean geometry
Summary: 5 Stars

This book, which has been available for quite some time, is still a great place to learn about topics in Euclidean geometry which you probably will not cover in a typical middle or high school math class. The level is completely elementary, meaning that anyone with knowledge of pre-calculus will be able to read this book (if they are sufficiently dedicated). The quality of the exposition is superb, and the mathematical content is interesting and varied.

While people who are interested in recreational mathematics will definitely find this book interesting, perhaps the audience for which this book will be most profitable are middle and high school students preparing for mathematics competitions. It is a considerable advantage, especially for the more difficult competitions, to know the techniques and theorems covered in this book.

If you're interested in learning geometry you may not have covered in school, or are preparing for math competitions, buy this book.
