Hugh Kenner's book I think it's titled: _Geodesic Math and how to use it_ would
serve. But all you really need to know is spherical trigonometry. See
Fuller's magnum opus _Synergetics_ in vol. 1 sec. 457.00-459.03 provides
much of the spherical relationships and vol. 2 sec 1052.00-1050.44 and color
plate 1 give Napier's rules for calculating the spherical trig data. It's real
ly rather simple. Good Luck!
