Overview
Peterson and deKryger’s MATH FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE TRADE, 6teh Edition, is an up-to-date, practical worktext that shows students how to do the math they’ll use in the automotive repair shop every day. Starting with beginner math, chapters move forward by applying math problems to the automotive workplace, covering everything from engines and drive trains to electrical systems and HVAC. Hyper-focused on the practical, the book’s hands-on exercises give students the know-how and confidence they need to complete math calculations in the shop by using manufacturer specifications, repair orders, and the professional reference materials included in the book's appendices. An essential tool for automotive professionals throughout the trade, MATH FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE TRADE makes math a stress-free topic and gives students a head start in their careers.
- Revised examples and exercises include the latest advances in technology and fuel economy, to immerse students in the high-tech realities of modern automotive careers.
- NEW instructions, examples, and exercises that sharpen skills at every turn focus on digital micrometers, automatic engine valve duration, advantages with LED lighting, the Ford F-150 aluminum body, as well as the automatic 7, 8, 9, and 10 speed transmissions.
- NEW and revised repair orders reflect hybrids, electric automobiles, and other recent engine and body changes in the marketplace giving students the easy confidence they need to work with popular automobile types and features.
- NEW questions throughout the readings offer extra practice with spec pages for hybrid and electric vehicles to help students get their hands dirty with clean automotive technologies.
- Updated tax tables in Chapter 7 help make MATH FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE TRADE, 6TH Edition, a go-to reference in the classroom, in the office, and on the shop floor.
- The hands-on, worktext format walks students through basic math skills, lets students try them out on common automotive situations and tasks, and covers both the standard and metric measurement systems widely used in automotive jobs.
- Practical discussions and “how-to’s” on using various types of measurement instruments take students from the classroom to the driver’s seat faster and with greater confidence than traditional texts.
- Useful discussions about personal and business finances, such as discounts, profit and loss, commissions, interest and payments, and taxes give students the practical math they need to work in automotive settings and none of the “classroom” math they don’t.
- Manufacturer's specification data throughout the readings puts the concepts to work for students with realistic experiences that mirror what they’ll do on the job every day.
