16 year-old loves it JC 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.. Automotive Mathematics Dad the book was not as informative as I thought. Did receive book in a timely mananer.. DISSATISFIED PURCHASE I was very dissatisfied with the condition of this book when I received it. The book's condition was very poor - contrary to the description given. I paid a lot of money for this book and expected it to be in very good condition as mentioned in it's description. I warn you to be very careful when purchasing from WAREHOUSE DEALS, INC.
