Physics & Astronomy

Two-semester junior-level courses in physics or engineering, and two- semester graduate-level courses in optometry.

A concise, readable introduction to classical and modern optics. Designed for students interested in the scientific and engineering applications of optics and those preparing for ophthalmic professions.

• provides a lean presentation of the entire field of optics, from the geometrical aspects of lenses to the relativity of image formation.

• offers an easily readable exposition; well suited, if desired, for self-study.

• provides frequent references to the historical development of optics.

• gives full coverage of the geometrical aspects of optics; ideal for those entering ophthalmic professions.

• contains a detailed discussion of the most modern developments such as optical data processing, holography, lasers, and laser applications.
