Overview
Main description
When you need just the essentials of geometry, this Easy Outlines book is there to help
If you are looking for a quick nuts-and-bolts overview of geometry, it’s got to be Schaum's Easy Outline. This book is a pared-down, simplified, and tightly focused version of its Schaum’s Outline cousin, with an emphasis on clarity and conciseness.

- Gives you expert help from teachers who are authorities in their fields
- So small and light that it fits in your backpack!
