Microsoft Works Suite 2000 is a versatile collection of software that can help you carry out a wide range of word processing and number crunching functions for which you rely on your PC. Equally useful is Microsoft Works Suite 2000 For Dummies, a book that not only helps you complete those functions but also helps you master the tools as well. From Windows basics to using the various components of the Works suite in tandem, this book is thorough in its coverage of the following: * All kinds of data management with spreadsheet and database programs * Word processing basics, such as composing and editing a document, to advanced features, such as incorporating tables, borders, headers, graphics, and footnotes in your works * Microsoft Money, which can help you track your income and expenses, create and stick to a budget, print checks, and calculate your taxes * Making the most of the Internet, from logging on with Internet Explorer to managing e-mail and downloading tons of free stuff from the Web * Microsoft's virtually limitless collection of encyclopedia entries in Encarta * Microsoft Home Publishing, a tool that enables you to create, print, and electronically send greeting cards, posters, banners, and other colorful projects

Designed for mathematics majors and other students who intend to teach mathematics at the secondary school level, College Geometry: A Unified Development unifies the three classical geometries within an axiomatic framework. The author develops the axioms to include Euclidean, elliptic, and hyperbolic geometry, showing how geometry has real and far-reaching implications. He approaches every topic as a fresh, new concept and carefully defines and explains geometric principles.The book begins with elementary ideas about points, lines, and distance, gradually introducing more advanced concepts such as congruent triangles and geometric inequalities. At the core of the text, the author simultaneously develops the classical formulas for spherical and hyperbolic geometry within the axiomatic framework. He explains how the trigonometry of the right triangle, including the Pythagorean theorem, is developed for classical non-Euclidean geometries. Previously accessible only to advanced or graduate students, this material is presented at an elementary level. The book also explores other important concepts of modern geometry, including affine transformations and circular inversion.Through clear explanations and numerous examples and problems, this text shows step-by-step how fundamental geometric ideas are connected to advanced geometry. It represents the first step toward future study of Riemannian geometry, Einstein’s relativity, and theories of cosmology.
