Description
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 a natural four-section organization (Traditional Methods, Differential Geometry, Computer Methods, and Applications in Naval Architecture), users will quickly progress from basic fundamentals to specific applications. Careful instruction and a wealth of practical applications spare readers the extensive searches once necessary to understand the mathematical background of naval architecture and help them understand the meanings and uses of discipline-specific computer programs.

About the Author
Adrian B. Biran received his MSc and DSc from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, as well as a Diplomat Engineer degree from the Bucharest Polytechnic Institute. He worked extensively in design in Romania (at IPRONAV-The Institute of Ship Projects, the Bucharest Studios and IPA-The Institute of Automation Projects) and in Israel (at the Israel Shipyards and the Technion Research and Development Foundation). Dr. Biran has also worked as a project instructor in Romania at the Technical Military Academy and in Israel at the Ben Gurion University. He has taught subjects including Machine Design, Engineering Drawing, and Naval Architecture. He has authored several papers on subjects such as computational linguistics and computer simulations of marine systems and subjects belonging to Ship Design. He is also the author of Ship Hydrostatics and Stability, Second Edition (BH).
