The present volume presents first, the theoretical basis for these hull modeling systems and second, the procedures for computing hull geometric, buoyancy and other properties by mathematical methods utilizing such models. The emphasis is upon the nomenclature and fundamentals underlying several different methods of hull geometrical modeling with the intention of providing the understanding needed to use intelligently both existing and future tools. Some topics included in the volume are continuity and fairness of surfaces, B-spline and NURBS representation, ruled and developable surfaces, subdivision surfaces, and classic computational topics such as hydrostatic properties and initial stability.

No one denies that printed books are irreplacable. They can be lent, traded, displayed and enjoyed for decades.

But electronic books have their place as well. They're portable, adaptable, infinitely customizable and —whether you like it or not— they're going to live side-by-side with printed books for years to come.

Brook Wilensky-Lanford grew up on beautiful Mount Desert Island, Maine, and studied religion at Wesleyan University, the marvelous faculty of which bear no responsibility for any of the Mythographer’s errors. She has just completed Columbia’s Nonfiction Writing MFA program. In between, she has written church newsletters, answered fan mail for a perfume company, and edited photography books. She’s a contributor to Storyville radio. Her personal and historical essays have appeared in Salon and Triple Canopy and Books That Saved My Life, and she’s working on a book about people who are looking for the Garden of Eden, literally. (There are more of them than you might think, and they’re still looking.)

Some topics included in the volume are continuity and fairness of surfaces, B-spline and NURBS representation, ruled and developable surfaces, subdivision surfaces, and classic computational topics such as hydrostatic properties and initial stability. This is a subject area characterized by a continuing stream of innovation and new software products so the objective here is to present the basis needed to understand and keep abreast of new developments in the field.
