For contestants in mathematics competitions and for others who would like to sharpen their skill at solving geometry problems, Hang and Wang explain how to seek clues and acquire geometric insight. They cover congruent triangles, similar triangles, circles and angles, circles and lines, basic facts and techniques in geometry, and geometry problems in competitions. More detailed topics include circumcenter and incenter of a triangle, introduction to trigonometry, tangent of a circle, the intersecting chords theorem and the tangent secant theorem, constructing a diagram, and seeking clues from the diagram.
