There's not a lot of math - T. Bayview - Asheville, NC
I'm having a problem understanding the "scientist" below who skipped the formulas, since they're all extremely simple. Perhaps he's a biologist or works in some other area where math isn't really used, but the math in this book is strictly elementary. It's on the level of high-school physics, and not the AP/Honors type that utilizes calculus, either, since no calculus or differential equations are employed. If you know what a square root of a number and the cosine of an angle are, there will be no problem.

As a physical oceanographer myself, the basic information about the physics of the ocean was old news, to say the least, but I was interested in what the author had to say about applying these principles to sailing and boat-handling. I have to say there is some practical value here, but not as much as I'd hoped. For those without a background in ocean physics, however, it's a valuable reference.
