Naval Architecture is based on geometry, for theory as well as for practice.
Naval Architecture is also the field of technology in which some of the
basic ideas of geometric modelling first appeared. Archimedes was the first
to study theoretically the properties of floating bodies. He analyzed the
stability of floating paraboloids and introduced geometrical notions such as
centre of buoyancy.
