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.

This book is the first of its kind, as it includes both mathematics content and pedagogy. It is a professional instructional manual on how mathematical problem solving curriculum can be implemented in the classrooms. The book develops from the theoretical work of Polya and Schoenfeld, and explicates how these can be translated to the actual implementation in schools. It represents the work of a group of researchers from the Singapore National Institute of Education, after experimenting with it in the Singapore school classrooms.This book includes a set of scheme of work, lesson plans and a choice of mathematics problems that teachers can actually use in teaching problem solving. Certain pedagogical considerations are developed and suggested in this book. In addition, the book includes an assessment framework on how mathematical problem solving can be assessed.

Practical Math covers basic math principles and operations and provides practice with both general math problems and industry-based problems. This edition provides math problems typically found in carpentry, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, welding, boiler operation, machining, and other trades. * Each basic math operation is thoroughly explained and illustrated. * Step-by-step examples are given for each operation. * The answer key located at the back of the textbook provides answers to odd-numbered practice problems. * Each chapter ends with a set of exercises and a chapter test. Master Math® problems show step-by-step math operations.

Regardless of whether they are housewives or auto mechanics, doctors or lawyers, or students or businessmen, The Smart Guide to Practical Math provides readers with responses to the questions they want answered about everyday math. From how many pounds of hamburger are required to make meatloaf to feed 12 people to how much to invest annually to be able to send a child to college, and whether it’s really a good idea to buy fuel additive for a car, this guide provides readers with practical mathematical formulas that can serve as templates for a number of real-life scenarios.
