A scientific monograph on diving physics and associated math relationships. Topics are related to diving protocols and operational procedures. First basic principles are presented; this is followed by practical applications and detailed results. Designed for the commercial diver, instructor, hyperbaric technician, or underwater researcher searching for a contained reference and especially the doctor, physiologist, physicist, chemist, mathematician, engineer, or biologist.

4.0 out of 5 stars
In-depth review of physics applied to diving,
By Patrick NOEL (pnoel@club-internet.fr) (Paris, FRANCE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Diving Physics and Applications (Diversification series) (Spiral-bound)
Obviously written for readers with a sound scientific background, this book presents a quasi exhaustive review of physical principles applied to diving. Mathematical data are fully presented. The problem, as usual with B.R. Wienke publications, is that the presentation is quite "dry", written in a very cursive, non pedagogical way. You will often need to take your time and to read very slowly and carefully to follow the author. Leaving that aspect aside, the book is a real sum of what you need to know if you want to dive with mathematical awareness ...

Diving for the Physicist,

This review is from: Basic Diving Physics and Applications (Diversification series) (Spiral-bound)
This book may benefit a physicist but probably offers little benefit to a diver or dive instructor. It has been a while since my math and physics classes and I found this volume daunting. If elementary particel interacton, hydrodynamics or maxwell equations are of interest to you then get this book. If you looking for usefull dive information or explanations look elswhere.

boring but does the trick,

This review is from: Basic Diving Physics and Applications (Diversification series) (Spiral-bound)
This book isn't exactly a leisurely reading book, but if you're interested in knowing just how everything works it will do the job.
