How Race Car Drivers Use Math (Math in the Real World) By Sheri L. Arroyo

When driving around the oval ring, drivers of race cars need to know much more than how to turn the wheel and avoid other drivers. How Race Car Drivers Use Math puts readers in the driver's seat to show how race car operators use math to calculate speed and fuel usage, judge their safety, and much more.

I wanted to know that since a long time, I will be downloading this file from the rapidshare. I just hope that this content will be useful to me as I have wasted a lot of time on the Internet finding it.

That looks interesting - unfortunately I found this thread way too late and now the link is gone, any others out there?

Always good when you can get kids more interested in a traditionally boring subject by making it have a connection with real world applications, and why they might just want to learn more.
