College Geometry: Using The Geometer's Sketchpad

by Barbara E. Reynolds, William E. Fenton

From two authors who embrace technology and value the role of collaborative learning comes College Geometry Using The Geometer's Sketchpad. The book's truly discovery-based approach guides readers to learn geometry through explorations of topics ranging from triangles and circles to transformational, taxicab, and hyperbolic geometries. In the process, readers hone their understanding of geometry and their ability to write rigorous mathematical proofs.

Each copy of the book comes with a CD-ROM containing Sketchpad documents that relate directly to the material in the text. These multi-page documents help readers launch into the book's activities and provide dynamic, interactive versions of all figures in the text. Readers will need access to the Sketchpad(TM) program.
