Looking for a math wiz!

if you know HDG ( ie where you are pointing), GS and TAS then there is only

Actually, there are two.

Eh? Not to sidetrack the thread too much, but how could there be two
wind answers?

For example on the E-6B, to solve this, you'd set TRACK up, grommet
over GS, and then look for where your TAS arc meets your drift
correction angle (HDG-TRACK). The vector back to the grommet is the
single direction and speed for the wind.
