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.
