Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
A good understanding of the contents of the three "Prerequisite" courses listed above is essential.
Goals:
The course aims at the introduction of the art of mathematical modelling and the subsequent analysis of the motion of single, massive, rigid bodies. The material presented to that purpose is illustrated with simple examples taken from the field of hydromechanics of ships and offshore structures.
