It will consider the vocabulary, concepts, application and, to a lesser extent, theory of matrix algebra that is relevant to graduate students in the agricultural and life sciences. Application exercises will consider ecological systems, genotypic transition matrices, selection indices, and the numerator relationship matrix. Application of methods such as least squares, and canonical transformation to solve problems in the biological sciences using matrix algebra will also be introduced.

Genetic gains require time to achieve and there is very little opportunity for students to witness the consequences of breeding decisions in a course. The simulation is designed to offer an opportunity to see in real-time, the outcome of decision-making, and to experience the stochastic (chance) elements of a breeding program.
