REVIEW FROM THE AUTHOR

I am the author of PAINLESS GEOMETRY and PAINLESS ALGEBRA. I read past reviews about the errors in the book and for that I apologize. I want you to know that the new edition of the book published in 2009 is essentially error free. I have put a lot of thought into creating PAINLESS GEOMETRY so that it could teach geometry painlessly. Each example and exercise was chosen to teach both obvious and hidden lessons. I have taught high school and college math, served as a school principal and have written twenty math books. I thnk PAINLESS GEOMETRY is the easiest and best constructed book on the market. I hope you give it a try.

Math Wiz Simplified

Great tool for young mathematicians new to Geometry. Supplements school textbooks -- exercises in the book facilitate review of concepts learned in class.

Have you used this book?

I've been meaning to write a review to respond to those on this page for a while. I guess I have used so many math books that contain an error or two that I just can't possibly throw away such a good book over that. The fact is that we homeschool and my son LOVED this book which we picked up at the library. It is full of wonderful, hands-on work and SIMPLE explanations that make geometry easier to understand than most other books we tried - yes, truly understand because you not only had it explained well, but also "did" something on paper or folding paper to experience it. He enjoyed it so much that when I picked up another Painless book at the used book store, he wanted to start it that day, rather than waiting 'til next semester. So I don't know if y'all just glanced at the book or really tried it, but this family tried it and loved it - and I own a red marker so I can cross out the one incorrect answer I found in my edition!
