Waves are fascinating objects. At times, they demurely lap on a beach and at other times they cause havoc and destruction. This chapter develops a mathematical model for waves that will enable us to study many of their properties. Linear wave theory is one of the most important tools in seakeeping analyis and probabilistic prediction of the short and long term behavior of marine vessels in waves. Although it is limited to waves with a small wave height to wave length ratio, linear wave theory provides important insight into the behavior of waves and the wave making of a ship. The chapter discusses linear wave theory in some detail. The Australian mathematician Michell developed a model for wave resistance based on linear theory. The nonlinear free surface boundary condition can be linearized if the analysis is restricted to waves with very small steepness.
