(Auto+Math) – Difficulty = SUCCESS!
Mathematics are essential to any automotive project, be it a
stock restoration, rebuild or all-out race car. The Auto Math Handbook is a
collection of the most basic calculations, formulas and equations required for
engine and car building. Written for the layperson, the Auto Math Handbook is
easy to read and understand, with "real world" applications that
offer solutions to the most common problems faced by do-it-yourself street
rodders, engine builders and racers. Some of the areas covered include:
- How to calculate brake
horsepower and torque
- Finding displacement,
stroke and bore
- Determining center of
gravity, weight distribution and g force
- Calculating air capacity
and volumetric efficiency
- The relationship between
mph, rpm, gears & tires
- Compression ratio and
milling heads
- Calculating 1/4-mile
elapsed times and top speed
- Plus much more!
Calculate the displacement, stroke, bore, air capacity,
horsepower, torque and compression ratio of your engine.
Math no longer has to be a necessary evil.
With the Auto Math Handbook, you'll be able to make simple,
accurate calculations to achieve the utmost performance.
This book covers a lot of the math required to solve many common automotive questions. The formulas are not complex and for the most part involve a little multiplication, division, adding and subtracting. Grade school math or a simple calculator is all you need to make use of them. In addition to demystfying mathematics, the book contains useful conversions and tables.
The book was published in 1991.
