This is an older SMSG text, School Mathematics Study Group, produced as an answer to the Soviet Union's orbiting of Sputnik. The text is concise and to the point, incorporates set theory, symbolic logic, and develops the structure of the subject very well. It prepares students for university study of mathematics. This program was sadly abandoned by so-called educators who came up with emphasizing programmable calculators or using a cookie cutter approach which lost sight of the mathematical structure of the subject. Other approaches such as Saxon resorted to rout review of concepts and lost again the mathematical structure. These older text might well be harder to find, but they are perfect for home schooling students who are not subject to the politics of education. The earliest editions of this series are the best. Some publishers offer newer versions but are more expensive and lack the concise presentation found in the older editions.

I got the Teacher's Edition! It is loaded with extra material that is wonderful. I am using the book to help one of my children who is taking geometry in high school. I had this book in 1969 and it is great to have it again. These days the kids don't seem to get books and I just can't (re)learn this stuff off of random Internet pages. The book is in fabulous condition.

The book was severely damage. I feel the advertisement was inaccurate.

My old high school geometry book. Very well written, covering all the basic stuff and I few things I thought I didn't learn until college. Very cute picture proof of the Pythagorean theorem using transparent overlay pages, but an even nicer proof using the same picture is possible, which they unfortunately do not give. The book hints at the real difficulties of geometry without bogged down in excessive detail. Nice bite sized sections for kids with short attention spans.
