This document discusses numerical integration methods for calculating ship geometrical properties. It introduces the Trapezoidal rule, Simpson's 1st rule, and Simpson's 2nd rule for numerical integration when the ship's shape cannot be represented by a mathematical equation. It then provides examples of applying Simpson's 1st rule to calculate properties like waterplane area, sectional area, submerged volume, and the longitudinal center of floatation (LCF). The document explains the calculation steps and provides generalized Simpson's equations for these examples.
