This book is a compilation of all the formulae that a mariner is
commonly called upon to use but the exact workings of which he has
perhaps forgotten. For each subject category, the author states the
basic parameters in narrative form, often including a figure,
graph, chart, diagram, or table, and then provides accompanying
equations and their amplifications. Although some formulae that are
simpler in format are propounded in other texts, many of those
formulae lead to confusion in that 'special rules' must be applied
to them in order to obtain a correct answer. However, the rules
applied to the formulae in this book work for all problems. In a
great circle sailing situation, for example, the fact of whether
the vertex is ahead of you or behind you does not matterif you
apply the rule(s) given in this book, you will get the correct
answer. Another important feature of the book is its devotion of
over ten pages of material to the international system of units
