The book provides connections between basic training in calculus and fluid mechanics and the application of hydrodynamics in daily ship design practice. Based on a foundation in fluid mechanics, the origin, use, and limitations of experimental and computational procedures for resistance and propulsion estimates are explained.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is subdivided into sixty chapters, providing background material for individual lectures.
