Automotive Mathematics Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son says he loves this book--and that speaks volumes. He is 16 years old and is enrolled in an Auto Technology course. He is also home schooled, and I chose this as his math text for the year. He says that he can see how he will use every problem that he has tried in the book. I have a library copy, and plan to purchase one for him based on his feedback.
