Summary
This book provides extensive information on the use of mathematics and computers in plant and crop physiology. It is intended to help plant physiologists describe complex biological ideas in new ways, especially through the use of mathematical models that can provide valuable insights while giving ideas and hypotheses a new quantitative definition.
