 pasfot.bmp (205350 bytes)A thesis written in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering.

In the following you'll find the contents of my thesis written on long wave motion. Next to that you'll find a collection of Matlab programs for the analysis of time series. This work has been collected on CD-ROM to make distribution easier. Anyone interested in this work can have a complete copy in full color for the price of a CD-ROM. Of course the thesis can be read from paper but e.g. the Matlab code can be used directly from this CD.

I sincerely hope you'll enjoy reading my work as much as I have enjoyed writing it. It has taken me a little bit longer than I originally expected but it has been a wonderful experience nevertheless.
