A Complete Theory of the Construction and Properties of Vessels: With Practical Conclusions for the Management of Ships, Made Easy to Navigators (1790)

""A Complete Theory of the Construction and Properties of Vessels: With Practical Conclusions for the Management of Ships, Made Easy to Navigators"" is a book written by Leonhard Euler in 1790. The book provides a comprehensive theory of the construction and properties of ships, with practical conclusions for their management. Euler, a Swiss mathematician and physicist, was one of the most influential mathematicians of the 18th century, and his work on fluid mechanics and naval architecture was groundbreaking. In this book, he explores the principles of ship design, including the shape of the hull, the distribution of weight, and the effect of waves and currents. He also discusses the properties of water, such as its viscosity and density, and how these affect the performance of a ship. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it easy for navigators and sailors to understand and apply Euler's theories to their own ships. Overall, ""A Complete Theory of the Construction and Properties of Vessels"" is a seminal work in the history of naval architecture, and remains an important reference for ship designers and navigators today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
