<dd>This report provides an introduction to the SONAR equations for those interested in underwater sound as applied to ASW but kacking either the mathematical background or the time for a more rigorous presentation. Earlier versions of these notes were developed for Continuing Education courses presented at Mofferr Field, California and Naval Torpedo Station, Washington. Additionally, these notes have been in demand for certain courses at the Naval Postgraduate School. While this is the text for these courses and should be supplemented by lectures, we have attempted to design the materials so that it is reasonably self- explanatory, communicating many of the essential concepts without requiring extensive verbal amplification. The unusual format has been deliberately chosen to facilitate these goals, and our experiences in presenting these materials have seemed to justify this choice. It is assumed that the reader has some familiarity with trigonometric functions and either has or will develop with the aid of the appendix the facility of handling scientific notation and logarithmic operations</dd>
