 An excellent book for an honors course February 8, 2006

This is an awesome book for an honors geometry course. The material is presented in a logical manner. Proofs are emphasized early and often. Homework problems have a wide range of difficulty from easy to prep school challenging. If you are a teacher teaching a non honors course, this is a great resource book for finding problems to challenge your top students.
I do not recommend this book for non honors courses. If you're interested in a non-honors Geometry text, check out Larson's Geometry. There are tons of examples with clear, lengthy explanations. Perfect for the kid who can not handle a rigorous, proof based honors course.
I taught honors Geometry using this book for three years. My students never had trouble doing the 15 or so problems I assigned per night.
In the age of watered down school textbooks, Jurgenson's Geometry is the exception.
 Big disappointment January 5, 2006

My fifteen year old is using this book in LAUSD high school so I was confident that a book by an old Exeter professor would be more than adequate. I was wrong. Had Brown walked into an Exeter classroom with this book thirty-five years ago we would have nailed him spread eagle to a Harkness table. I bought my kid a copy of Weeks and Atkins, the book used by my prep school teacher Arthur Weeks and Brown himself when he taught at Exeter.

I tutor and this is the worst Geometry textbook I've had to use. Geometry is a new branch of mathematics to most students and can be difficult to comprehend. This book only makes it worse. The lack of examples and clear explanation is very frustrating. I empathize with any student forced to endure this text.
