Summary:
To ancient scholars, geometry was the gateway to knowledge. Its core skills of logic and reasoning are essential to success in school, work, and many other aspects of life. Yet sometimes students, even if they have done well in other math courses, can find geometry a challenge. Now, in the 36 innovative lectures of this course, Professor James Tanton shows students a different and more creative approach to geometry than that usually taught in high schools.
