apparent wind formula

Hello
is there a formula that can figure apparent wind direction to true wind direction. also for speed of wind. with the sailboat going 6 knots at a 45 degree angle to a 15 knot wind apparent on the boat - what would be the true wind angle an speed? i'm not a racing sailor but a cruiser with curiousity.
thxs!
