Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many colleges and universities have discovered that students enrolled in their agriculture programs are lacking in their abilities to perform mathematically and have varying skill levels. Additionally, many of these students are unable to apply previously learned mathematical skills to real-world, agriculturally significant situations. This user-friendly text/reference is designed to: middot; provide the student with a solid foundation in practical mathematical applications to agriculture middot; provide the student with the opportunity to develop his/her thinking skills by the way the problems are designed middot; provide the student with some real world agriculturally- applicable facts and situations. All problems in the book are application problems. Part I deals with mathematical operations involving fractions, area, volume, slope, graphs, etc. It contains three chapters and is the foundation for the rest of the book. Part II deals with mathematics involved in crop production such as soil preparation, harvesting, storage, etc. for such crops as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton and more. Part III deals with the mathematics involved in livestock production such as cattle, swine, poultry, and more. Part IV deals with the mathematics involved in agribusiness such as elevators/milling companies, fertilizer/chemical suppliers, feed suppliers, etc. and mathematics involved in agribusiness and personal finances. A handy Appendix contains a quick review of arithmetic, applied geometry, algebra, as well as tables of measurements. Ag Facts and Chapter Skill Tests are available to maintain the studentsrsquo; interest and monitor skill progression. A helpful Teacherrsquo;s Solutions Manual is also available

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first volume in a unique series concentrating on in-depth discussions of GIS topics, GIS Applications in Agriculture examines ways that this powerful technology can help farmers/firms to produce a greater abundance of crops with more efficiency and at lower costs. Each chapter describes the nature of the problem, examines the purpose of the GIS application, describes methods used to develop the application, provides results, and offers a conclusion as well as other supportive information. When appropriate, it presents the underlying statistical approach for the GIS software that is used. This text also includes a CD-ROM that features data sets and the full color maps produced by the use of GIS.

Book excerpt: Mathematical Programming Models for Agriculture, Environmental, and Resource Economics provides a comprehensive overview of mathematical programming models and their applications to real world and important problems confronting agricultural, environmental, and resource economists. Unlike most mathematical programming books, the principal focus of this text is on applications of these techniques and models to the fields of agricultural, environmental, and resource economics. The three fundamental goals of the book are to provide the reader with: (1) a level of background sufficient to apply mathematical programming techniques to real world policy and business to conduct solid research and analysis, (2) a variety of applications of mathematical programming to important problems in the areas of agricultural, environmental, and resource economics, and (3) a firm foundation for preparation to more advanced, Ph.D. level books on linear and/or nonlinear programming. Despite its introductory nature, the text places significant emphasis on real world applications of mathematical programming to decision problems. A wide array of examples and case studies are used to convey the various programming techniques available to decision analysts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This popular, world-wide selling textbook teaches engineering mathematics in a step-by-step fashion and uniquely through engineering examples and exercises which apply the techniques right from their introduction. This contextual use of mathematics is highly motivating, as with every topic and each new page students see the importance and relevance of mathematics in engineering. The examples are taken from mechanics, aerodynamics, electronics, engineering, fluid dynamics and other areas. While being general and accessible for all students, they also highlight how mathematics works in any individual's engineering discipline. The material is often praised for its careful pace, and the author pauses to ask questions to keep students reflecting. Proof of mathematical results is kept to a minimum. Instead the book develops learning by investigating results, observing patterns, visualizing graphs and answering questions using technology. This textbook is ideal for first year undergraduates and those on pre-degree courses in Engineering (all disciplines) and Science. New to this Edition: - Fully revised and improved on the basis of student feedback - New sections - More examples, more exam questions - Vignettes and photos of key mathematicians
