回顾了国内外农业机械配备数学方法和理论的相关文献，并将相关方法和理论归纳成：以农业作业机组必须在适期内完成作业任务为基本依据，以考虑自然气候条件影响和取得较好农业经济效益为准则，以最低作业成本完成作业任务为目标。然后分析了3类方法中典型方法的原理，简述了各方法的发展历程，评述了各方法在实际应用中的优劣情况。最后叙述了多种计算机技术在农机配备中的应用情况。指出随着农业经营规模的逐步扩大，农机配备法在农机化的发展过程中发挥的作用越来越大。

Reviewed the domestic and foreign literatures about mathematical theories of agricultural machinery optimization, and summarized the relevant theories 3 categories, agricultural operations unit must complete their tasks in appropriate period; to consider natural climatic conditions and achieve better economic efficiency of agriculture; spend a minimum operating costs. Then analyzed the principle of typical methods, briefly described their development process, reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of each method in the practical application. Finally, described some applications of computer technology. Pointed out that with the scale expanding of agricultural management, farm machinery system optimization would play a greater role.
