This textbook on Coastal Dynamics focuses on the interrelation between physical wave, flow and sediment transport phenomena and the resulting morphodynamics of a wide variety of coastal systems. We thank Matthias Moller for his thorough reading of the draft of this book and his helpful suggestions. Extra information about this course can be found at, among which old exams, answers to the exercises, and a link to an online education platform. A list of references to background knowledge and related literature can be found at the end of this book. The numerical examples in this book were implemented in Matlab, but also Python or any other programming language could be used. Chapters, sections and exercises marked with a * are not part of the Delft Institutional Package. They have been in-cluded to make the book self-contained as far as the numerical aspects are concerned. The techniques discussed in the intro-ductory chapters, for instance interpolation, numerical quadrature and the solution to nonlinear equations, may also be used outside the context of differential equations. We confine ourselves to ordinary differential equations with the exception of the last chapter in which we discuss the heat equation, a parabolic partial differential equation. We emphasize the aspects that play an important role in practical problems. In this book we discuss several numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations.
