The increased efficiency and profitability that the proper application of technology can provide has made precision agriculture the hottest developing area within traditional agriculture. The first single-source volume to cover GIS applications in agronomy, GIS Applications in Agriculture examines ways that this powerful technology can help farmers produce a greater abundance of crops with more efficiency and at lower costs.
Each chapter describes the nature of a problem, examines the purpose and scope of a GIS application, presents the methods used to develop the application, and then goes on to provide results and offer a conclusion as well as supporting information. When appropriate, the chapters present the underlying statistical approach for the GIS software that is used. The text also includes a CD-ROM featuring data sets and color maps produced by the use of GIS.
Concentrating more on the approach and less on the specific software, the authors describe the methods used to develop an application and discuss limitations to the algorithms and the programming code used. They then summarize the application in terms of what it does, how it works, its limitations, and its potential uses. The book provides a toolkit for the acquisition, management, and analysis of spatial data throughout the agriculture value chain.

[/b]Please any one can upload the book,“Is Your Structure Suitably Braced?,” Structural Stability Research Council (SSRC), Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, (1993).
"The numerics volume has two chapters. … offer a treasure trove of identities and formulas. … take the reader on a thrilling tour of the features of Mathematica. I am impressed with the breadth and depth of Trott’s coverage and his profound understanding of the strengths and limitations of Mathematica. … includes a multiplatform DVD-ROM which allows the reader to experiment with code and view graphics in color. … an invaluable resource and classic reference for scientists who use Mathematica in teaching or research." (Willy Hereman, SIAM Review, Vol. 49 (1), 2007)
Book Description
This comprehensive, detailed reference to Mathematica provides the reader with both a working knowledge of Mathematica in general and a detailed knowledge of key aspects of Mathematica needed to create the fastest, shortest and most elegant implementations possible to solve problems from the natural sciences. The GuideBook gives the user a deeper understanding of Mathematica by instructive implementations, explanations, and examples from a range of disciplines at varying levels of complexity. The GuideBook is published in three volumes -- 1 -Programming, 2-Graphics, and 3-Mathematics -- each with a CD. The 3 volumes total 3000 pages and contain more than 15,000 Mathematica inputs, over 1500 graphics, 4000+ references, and more than 500 exercises. The Mathematica GuideBook is an indispensable resource for students, researchers and professionals in mathematics, the sciences and engineering and will thus find a natural place on the bookshelf next to The Mathematica Book. This third volume,3-Mathematics (chapters 10-14) covers Mathematica's mathematical capabilities. Chapter 10 deals with numerical calculations and is important for all Mathematica users, covering calculations involving real and complex numbers,then main numerical functions which are implemented in Mathematica - interpolation, Fourier transforms, solution of equations, minimization of functions, and the solution of differential equations. Chapters 11 and 12 deal with symbolic calculations using Mathematica - the real heart of the programming system, with concentration on topics that are important in classical analysis. Chapters 13 and 14 discuss classical orthogonal polynomials and the special functions of mathematical physics, focusing on the use of special functions in a number of physics- related applications in the text as well as in the exercises.

The Mathematica GuideBook is an indispensable resource for students, researchers and professionals in mathematics, the sciences and engineering and will thus find a natural place on the bookshelf next to The Mathematica Book. This second volume, 2-Graphics, chapters 7-9, covers two- and three-dimensional graphics. These chapters give a detailed treatment of both creating images from graphic primitives such as points, lines, and polygons and graphically displaying functions that are given either analytically or in discrete form and a number of images from the Mathamatica graphics gallery. Because all graphic primitives are Mathematica expressions it is possible to create stunning visualizations for many topics from pure mathematics or the natural sciences. The use of Mathematica's graphics capabilities provides a very efficient and instructive way to learn how to deal with the structures arising in solving complicated problems.
The multiplatform CD contains Mathematica 4.0 notebooks with detailed descriptions and explanations of the Mathematica commands needed in that chapter and used in applications, supplemented by a variety of mathematical, physical, and graphic examples and worked out solutions to all exercises. The notebooks employ typeset formulae with Mathematica input that can be edited. With hyperlinked content allowing full navigation, the notebooks thus transform the material into an electronic book, allowing browsing, searching, and exploration of the material. Each chapter includes a set of exercises with detailed solutions and detailed references. While each book can be used individually, the three together represent one organic whole and should be used together for maximum benefit.

Review
From the reviews of the third edition:
"This is the third edition of a famous work on the basics of numerical analysis. It is a well-written textbook for advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate students containing both classical methods and modern approaches to numerical mathematics. The theory is illustrated by many interesting examples, and carefully selected exercises lead the reader to a better understanding of the topics discussed. … The third edition contains new material and several improved passages and will be useful also for those who already use the previous editions." (European Mathematical Society Newsletter, September, 2003)
"This is the third edition of a textbook first published in 1980. It is intended as a comprehensive introduction to … numerical analysis for the final year undergraduate or beginning graduate student. … As a reference work it is clearly organized and the table of contents … makes it easier to refer to individual sections. … it will serve both as an invaluable reference and as a means to acquire some more theoretical background … ." (Gerry Leversha, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 88 (512), 2004)
"Among the book’s many particular features … we would like to emphasize the excellent presentation of the following topics: fast Fourier transform methods, thorough discussion of the most important minimization methods, solution of stiff or implicit ordinary differential equations, solution of differential algebraic systems, basics of multigrid methods. … This … makes the present well-written book very profitable for every reader interested in or working on problems of Numerical Analysis." (Ferenc Móricz, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 69, 2003)
Book Description
This book contains a large amount of information not found in standard textbooks. Written for the advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate student, it combines the modern mathematical standards of numerical analysis with an understanding of the needs of the computer scientist working on practical applications. Among its many particular features are: fully worked-out examples; many carefully selected and formulated problems; fast Fourier transform methods; a thorough discussion of some important minimization methods; solution of stiff or implicit ordinary differential equations and of differential algebraic systems; modern shooting techniques for solving two-point boundary value problems; and basics of multigrid methods. This new edition features expanded presentation of Hermite interpolation and B-splines, with a new section on multi-resolution methods and B-splines. New material on differential equations and the iterative solution of linear equations include: solving differential equations in the presence of discontinuities whose locations are not known at the outset; techniques for sensitivity analyses of differential equations dependent on additional parameters; new advanced techniques in multiple shooting; and Krylov space methods for non-symmetric systems of linear equations.
