Preface
This book focuses on the dynamics of the ocean being influence by the Earth’s rota-

traditionally requires advanced knowledge of analytical mathematics, in particularly
matrix algebra, differential and integral calculus, plex analysis. Hence, this
fascinating fiel of science, known as geophysical flui dynamics, is accessible only
to a limited number o
