All that being said, honestly I'd just review trigonometry a little and pick up a copy of Celestial in the GPS Age and fill in the gaps from there.

Thank you very much!

I love book discussions and especially by someone like you (and Keller, who in the dedication to his Pascal book has: "to my father, who taught me the importance of learning, and to my mother, who taught me the importance of not doing it all the time."

Btw, to thank you, I'll share this hidden gem that will help making learning smooth and fun: "Learning & Memory" by W. Wickelgren-- I've seen dozens of books on this but only this walks the walk (the author practices cognitive psychology to make his book easy to learn from, and to remember).

Have a good day,

Anytime, and thank you for the rec, I just ordered it. I might also suggest to you "Make It Stick" (by Brown, Roediger, and McDaniel) if you are ever in want in another book on pedagogy.
Appreciate it :)
Sorry, last thing:

This is a workbook and records the data used for navigation by sextant to Hawai'i. Good for practice.
