Cultivating Mathematics for Agriculture: Innovation by the Numbers
The variables involved in agriculture—from water to soil to the weather—make it an unpredictable venture. Mathematics can provide insights that create more certainty for farmers, such as analysis on when and where different crops should be planted or whether certain areas need more fertilizer. Join the National Academies on Tuesday, March 17 from 2-3pm ET for a webinar that will explore how math can improve and inform agricultural practices.
The National Academies will host a webinar to discuss ways that math and statistics can inform agricultural practices. Kathleen Kavanagh (Clarkson University) will discuss how mathematics can improve water resource management, and Linda Young (National Institute of Statistical Sciences) will speak on agricultural statistics. Jordan Ellenberg (University of Wisconsin–Madison) will moderate the discussion.
