Water Waves Website
Welcome to the water waves website. This site is just beginning and right now we want people to make contributions. We are still not sure exactly what is the best format and we are aware that there will be lots of questions, changes etc. that will have to be made as we go along.
The first thing to do is to create an account so that you can login and create or edit pages. Then start to enter the kind of information that you think will be useful, this should be the best guide to what other will find useful.
we are getting started and right now we need content. Please write anything you want. My first page was on Scattering Frequencies which you might like to check out (and add to, fix errors in etc.). While we need pages describing the basic theory, there is no need to start here. We also strongly encourage you to include a page about yourself and create links to this.
The aim of this site is to be as useful as possible. This is different from being accurate (but of course accuracy is useful). Basically, we prefer content with errors (small hopefully) to no content at all. A page which describes the theory with a few errors in the equations will still be useful. Furthermore we can expect that someone else will spot these errors and fix them.
If you have any questions, problems etc. (and we are expecting these at the moment as we have only just begun to experiment with this page) please contact Gareth Hegarty.
This website was started by Michael Meylan and is being initially supported by a grant from the New Zealand institute of mathematics.
I am starting with a list of articles
