This document provides navigation formulae for students to use on examinations. It includes formulae for calculating distance, direction, and changes in latitude and longitude from an initial to final position. Key formulae shown calculate distance as a product of initial latitude, final latitude, and difference in longitude, and calculate the cosine of an initial or final course as a product of cosines and sines of latitudes and longitudes.
