4.0 out of 5 stars very informal pedagogy, July 5, 2006
By W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Drexel University has been putting out a series of Dr Math books, with this being one of the latest. It has that trademark cheerful, breezy style that is meant to engage a recalcitrant primary school student. Or perhaps even a high school student. Though the material seems rather basic for high school.

Students who are already into maths won't need a book like this. But the forced informality and cartoony aspect is thought to be more likely to attract students with little interest or ability in maths.

The material here is Euclidean geometry, in 2 and 3 dimensions. Needless to say, the level of rigour in the proofs in minimal. But enough is given to provide a logical framework.
