Formulae for the Mariner, by Richard M. Plant, gathers the calculations a ship's officer or serious navigator needs into one compact volume. This 2nd edition was published by Cornell Maritime Press in 1986 and runs 93 pages.
Plant's approach is to state each problem first in plain narrative form, illustrate it with figures, and only then present the equations, which makes the math easier to follow and apply. Subjects include great circle sailing among many other navigation and shipboard problems.
