Geometry for Naval Architects

Geometry for Naval Architects is the essential guide to the principles of naval geometry. Formerly fragmented throughout various sources, the topic is now presented in this comprehensive book that explains the history and specific applications of modern naval architecture mathematics and techniques, including numerous examples, applications, and references to further enhance understanding. With the book's four-section organization (Traditional Methods, Differential Geometry, Computer Methods, and Applications in Naval Architecture), readers will quickly progress from basic fundamentals to specific applications.

Features

• Explains the basics of geometry as applied to naval architecture, with specific practical applications included throughout the book for real-life insights
• Presents traditional methods and computational techniques (including MATLAB)
• Provides a wealth of examples in MATLAB
