Nathaniel Bowditch
Nathaniel Bowditch (March 26, 1773 – March 16, 1838) was an early American mathematician remembered for his work on ocean navigation. He is often credited as the founder of modern maritime navigation; his book ''The New American Practical Navigator'', first published in 1802, is still carried on board every commissioned U.S. Naval vessel.Provided by Wikipedia
