Real world geometry

This text illustrates the fact that math need not be dull and abstract. In citing real-life examples such as calculating the load that a bridge can take, versus how to arrive at deciphering the tilt of a building, this book elevates math to a fun and practical level. In doing so, it convinces students that math can be applied to everyday life and that its applications are indeed, widespread. It is a great introduction for anyone seriously interested in pursuing math and math-oriented professions such as engineering.
