Description
Mathematics for the Mariner provides a practical guide to navigating the seas. This book addresses the need for a "how-to" approach to navigation, filling a gap in existing literature that focuses on more advanced topics. The authors aim to reassure students that mathematical processes are within their reach, making it easier to apply basic formulae and trigonometry to navigate with precision. By understanding the importance of determining current velocity, readers can overcome uncertainty and achieve accurate navigation. With this book, amateur navigators can learn how to use mathematical techniques to enhance their skills, using methods developed over centuries from the early Age of Exploration to modern times.
