Required Textbook

Introduction to Geometry
By Richard Rusczyk
A full course in challenging geometry for students in grades 7-10, including topics such as similar triangles, congruent triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, funky areas, power of a point, three-dimensional geometry, transformations, introductory trigonometry, and more.

This was the best and most enjoyable math course I have ever taken (and this is coming from an engineering major who sat through a lot of math/engineering classes). I had never learned geometry well back in high school and was only really good at the Pythagorean theorem/SAT geometry type stuff, so I really wanted to finally address this weak area of mine. Needless to say, this course went above and beyond my expectations. I have learned so much that I can now solve almost any Alcumus geometry problem, as well as most AMC geometry problems I've encountered, where just 5 months ago I could barely do any slightly tricky geometry problem.
