PURCHASE OPTIONS
A complete practical math and physics course for aviation related trades using everyday examples to explain each facet of the subject. Many sets of subjects are covered, each of which can be considered as an area of physics which is then solved through the application of basic math. The amount of math presented is suitable for the tasks at hand and for understanding the function and maintenance of aircraft systems. This is not an engineering level textbook
