Features: This book can be used as a teaching material for mathematics modeling in various majors of higher agricultural and forestry colleges, and is also suitable for non-mathematics majors in other universities. It is a research outcome of the "Higher Education Facing the 21st Century and Curriculum System Reform Program" of the Ministry of Education and is a textbook for the 21st century. The book mainly introduces mathematical methods frequently used in practice, with the main content including: an overview of mathematical modeling, mathematical statistics methods, optimization methods, differential and difference equation methods, fuzzy mathematics methods, graph theory methods, and other methods. The book has two major features: first, its content is relatively comprehensive, and applying the methods in the book can basically solve common practical mathematical problems; second, it is easy to understand, making it accessible for readers who have studied calculus, linear algebra, and probability theory to self-study. For readers who have studied mathematical statistics and linear programming, reading the book is even more convenient.
