Hello, out there all you math experts.  I have a problem that
perhaps someone could suggest a book or hopefully a little 
share ware program that would help me.
I am a professional mariner by trade and as such , part of what
I do is go to Nautical School to upgrade my Certification.
I am currently attending a course in Victoria B.C.
I have only grade 9 math(20 years ago), A lot of the stuff we deal
with is 1st year Univ level math,, I am able to get by with most of
it and teach myself.  However my consistent stumbling block is 
the Algerbraic transformation of forumlae.  Taking the unknowns from
, well basically isolating the unknown factors , once that is done, I have 
no particular problem (using a calculator(HP-41) to solve.  I do not have
the time to take a complete math course or Algerbra course, Any suggestions
as to a GOOD book or hopefully a little shareware teaching aid that
would address my problem??? thanx and cheers
