Course Learning Rationale (CLR)

The purpose of learning this course is to:

CLR: 1 Develop and apply mathematical and statistical models to analyses agricultural data, including crop yields, climate patterns, soil properties, and other relevant variables. This helps in understanding trends, making predictions, and optimizing agricultural practices.

CLR: 2 Implement precision agriculture techniques by utilizing mathematical models and statistical analyses to optimize the use of resources such as water, fertilizers, and pesticides. This enhances efficiency and sustainability in farming practices.

CLR: 3 Use mathematical models to understand soil processes and environmental interactions affecting agriculture. This can include studying nutrient cycling, erosion, and the impact of climate change on crop production.

CLR: 4 Utilize econometric methods to analyses economic aspects of agriculture, such as market trends, pricing, and the economic impact of different agricultural practices. This supports informed decision-making in agricultural economics.

CLR: 5 Link mathematics with agricultural engineering

CLR: 6 comprehend the use of Slope-Intercept

CLR: 7 Device formulas for straight lines

CLR: 8 Integrate product of functions and define matrices and determinants
