Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Need help with math

As for software, I ended up with Rhino based on Shawn and others recommendations. I needed the ability to fair the lines and expand plating from the 3d model. It's going to take a while to learn it as I was warned.

I found the best books to quickly learn math are the "Demystified" books. They have "Algebra Demystified", trig., calculus, geometry, etc. For sub. design (or any design for that matter) I'd say Geometry is the most important. Algebra as well for calculating thermodynamics, etc.

Much of the geometry stuff you'd need though is found in the i-net as far as formulas go, so if you have a basic understanding you're fine.

Hi everybody,

A while ago I asked for some help learning how to do the math one needs to make a design. I asked for some reference materials do this sort of thing. I saw the list of technical books that was posted here and I am grateful for that but we don't have any of those books in the local library. So I am back with my original question.

Is there any easy way to learn how to do the math necessary to create a submarine design? Maybe a software program or something like that? This is what is holding me back right now and I could use some help understanding which way to go. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to all and keep up the good work. I enjoy reading what you guys write and find it very interesting.

Ross Donato
