This is a completely rewritten and expanded version of the successful 1984 book of the
same name published by Butterworths. The objective remains the same: to teach students
of agriculture and related ecological problems how to express ideas mathematically and solve the
resulting mathematical problem. The book is designed to be a comprehensive textbook, and is suitable
for self-study, with exercises and answers. While the level of mathematics is dictated by the problem,
the book uses a qualified simplicity rather than a less digestible rigour. The need of many students to
grasp every step of a mathematical model is appreciated and catered for.
Aimed at graduate students and researchers in agriculture, including crop, environmental and animal sciences.
