My daughters have algebra DVDs.

It would be in the Non fiction section, if there was one?

It is the middle ground between light and matter, between science and engineering, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is a dimension of mathematics. It is an area which we call, The Geometry Zone. (apologies to Rod)

Just study, Paige.

most of geometry involves needing to look at diagrams and formulas, not exactly something you can put on an audio recording

geometry books on tape would be like listening to golf on the radio

You need to know the author’s name, Paige.

Never heard of this author Phooey, what did he or she write?

I think geometry textbooks would a challenge to put into audiobook form. Correct me if I’m wrong about this.

I’m sure they’ll come out with geometry for Vision Pro headsets
