Mathematical applications in agriculture Book

This text teaches the critical mathematical concepts and skills that are imperative for success in the agriculture industry. Students will gain a solid foundation in practical mathematical applications specific to this field; they will develop their thinking skills through the manner in which the problems are developed; and, they will learn many real facts about agriculture. Line drawings, charts, graphs, case studies, examples, and sample problems throughout help students better grasp the concepts presented. The text is written in such a manner that the many chapters on mathematics involved in crop production, livestock production and financial management can be presented independently of one another, giving the instructor flexibility in selecting topics most appropriate to a given region. The instructor's manual conveniently offers extra problem sets and two sets of tests per chapter.
