Practical Mathematics for Precision Farming
Author: David E. Clay
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0891183612
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
As the public and producers becomes more aware of the environmental and economic benefits of precision farming, there has been increased demand for quality training to accurately evaluate spatial variability within fields. Practical Mathematics in Precision Farming provides hand-on training and examples for certified crop consultants (CCAs), farmers, crop consultants, and students (both undergraduate and graduate) on how to conduct to conduct and analyze on-farm studies, write simple programs, use precision techniques to scout for pests and collect soil samples, develop management zones, determine the cost of production, assess the environmental consequences of precision techniques, understand soil test results, and develop site-specific nutrient and plant population algorithms. Using real agronomic examples, the reader is taught the crucial task of managing products and inputs for application at the right rate, place, and time.

Mathematics for Agriculture
Author: Betty C. Rogers
Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN:
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
PLEASE PROVIDE COURSE INFORMATIONThe primary intent of Mathematics for Agriculture is to provide a relevant review of basic arithmetic, statistical interpretation, and algebraic concepts to prepare students for mathematics involved in other agriculture and horticulture courses. However, the book would readily lend itself for use as a general math text in an agricultural curriculum. The application problems use current and realistic agricultural situations similar to those encountered by professionals engaged in agriculturally related occupations and industries. Because the math skills required in solving problems in the text range from the very simple to the more challenging, the book can be adapted to various grade levels. Math plays an important part in everyone's life, but the increasing complexity of agricultural technology makes it mandatory that workers in agricultural occupations have skills in the analysis and solution of mathematical problems. A prominent unit on using both the English and metric systems and making conversions from one system to the other is provided. A separate Answer Key is also available.

Mathematics for Social Justice: Resources for the College Classroom
Author: Gizem Karaali
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470449269
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Mathematics for Social Justice offers a collection of resources for mathematics faculty interested in incorporating questions of social justice into their classrooms. The book begins with a series of essays from instructors experienced in integrating social justice themes into their pedagogy; these essays contain political and pedagogical motivations as well as nuts-and-bolts teaching advice. The heart of the book is a collection of fourteen classroom-tested modules featuring ready-to-use activities and investigations for the college mathematics classroom. The mathematical tools and techniques used are relevant to a wide variety of courses including college algebra, math for the liberal arts, calculus, differential equations, discrete mathematics, geometry, financial mathematics, and combinatorics. The social justice themes include human trafficking, income inequality, environmental justice, gerrymandering, voting methods, and access to education. The volume editors are leaders of the national movement to include social justice material into mathematics teaching. Gizem Karaali is Associate Professor of Mathematics at Pomona College. She is one of the founding editors of The Journal of Humanistic Mathematics, and an associate editor for The Mathematical Intelligencer and Numeracy ; she also serves on the editorial board of the MAA's Carus Mathematical Monographs. Lily Khadjavi is Associate Professor of Mathematics at Loyola Marymount University and is a past co-chair of the Infinite Possibilities Conference. She has served on the boards of Building Diversity in Science, the Barbara Jordan-Bayard Rustin Coalition, and the Harvard Gender and Sexuality Caucus.

Transformational Change Efforts: Student Engagement in Mathematics through an Institutional Network for Active Learning
Author: Wendy M. Smith
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470463776
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The purpose of this handbook is to help launch institutional transformations in mathematics departments to improve student success. We report findings from the Student Engagement in Mathematics through an Institutional Network for Active Learning (SEMINAL) study. SEMINAL's purpose is to help change agents, those looking to (or currently attempting to) enact change within mathematics departments and beyond—trying to reform the instruction of their lower division mathematics courses in order to promote high achievement for all students. SEMINAL specifically studies the change mechanisms that allow postsecondary institutions to incorporate and sustain active learning in Precalculus to Calculus 2 learning environments. Out of the approximately 2.5 million students enrolled in collegiate mathematics courses each year, over 90% are enrolled in Precalculus to Calculus 2 courses. Forty-four percent of mathematics departments think active learning mathematics strategies are important for Precalculus to Calculus 2 courses, but only 15 percnt state that they are very successful at implementing them. Therefore, insights into the following research question will help with institutional transformations: What conditions, strategies, interventions and actions at the departmental and classroom levels contribute to the initiation, implementation, and institutional sustainability of active learning in the undergraduate calculus sequence (Precalculus to Calculus 2) across varied institutions?
