The theme for this unique and important event was "Agriculture as a Metaphor for Creativity in All Human Endeavors", and it brought together leading international mathematicians and active researchers from universities and industry to discuss current challenging topics and to promote interactive collaborations between mathematics and industry. The success of agricultural practice relies fundamentally on its interconnections with and dependence on biology and the environment. Both play essential roles, including the biological adaption to cope with environmental challenges of biotic and abiotic stress and global warming. The book highlights the development of mathematics within this framework that successful agricultural practice depends upon and exploits Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed March 22, 2018) Subject Mathematics -- Congresses Mathematics -- Industrial applications -- Congresses Agriculture -- Mathematical models -- Congresses TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING -- Agriculture -- Agronomy -- Crop Science.
