Welcome to Geometry

You will find geometry different from other math courses that you have taken.  In this class, you will learn to combine reason and proof to solve many problems.  Proofs may seem a little difficult for a while but with reasonable effort and patience, your skill in forging a chain of reason will improve and you will appreciate the use of logic in mathematics as well as daily life.  We will learn more about the relationships of many figures.  Geometry will give you a visual meaning to arithmetic and algebra.  It wll be challenging and useful - engineers, architects, painters, carpenters and teachers are only a few of the people who use geometry in their daily lives.
