Many useful tables and glossary of marine navigation are in volume II Due to critical feedback from academia, the 2017 edition reconstitutes several deleted or abridged chapters removed from the previous two editions.

CHAPTER 1, MATHEMATICS CHAPTER 2, INTERPOLATION includes discussion on single, double, triple and nonlinear interpolation (with Bessel's formula included). CHAPTER 3, NAVIGATIONAL ERROR The chapter goes into greater depth on the subject than the 2002 edition.
