Description
Automotive technicians and students need a firm grasp of science and technology in order to fully appreciate and understand how mechanisms
and systems of modern vehicles work.
Automotive Science and Mathematics
presents the necessary principles and
applications with all the examples and exercises relating directly to motor vehicle technology and repair, making it easy for automotive
students and apprentices to relate the theory back to their working practice.
The coverage of this book is based on the syllabus requirements
of the BTEC First in Vehicle Technology, BTEC National in Vehicle Repair and Technology, and the IMI Certificate and Diploma in Vehicle
Maintenance and Repair, but will help all automotive students and apprentices at levels 2 and 3 and up to and including HNC/HND, foundation
and first degree with their studies and in achieving the Key Skill 'Application of Number' at levels 2 and 3. The book is designed to
cater for both light and heavy vehicle courses.
Full worked solutions of most exercises are available as a free download for lecturers
only from http://textbooks.elsevier.com.
Allan Bonnick is a motor vehicle education and training consultant and was
