Geometry:
Geometry is thinking and logic.
Geometry is great brain exercise.
It is very different than algebra. Although good
algebra skills are required. Placement in the
right class is very important.
We do formal proof. There are postulates,
theorems and definitions to learn and apply.
There is a lot to learn.
