DESCRIPTION:
This new edition is intended for a one semester course in optics for juniors and seniors in science and engineering. The threefold arrangement of text, applications, and files makes the book suitable for "self-learning" by scientists or engineers who would like to refresh their knowledge of optics.. It uses scripts from Maple, MathCad, Mathematica, and MATLAB to provide a simulated laboratory where students can learn by exploration and discovery instead of passive absorption. It contains step by step derivations of all basic formulas in geometrical, wave and Fourier optics. The text covers all the standard topics of a traditi
W Boudville said simulated optical bench. Traditionally, optics was often taught using a lab. Where you had an optical bench, replete with many elements like prisms, beam splitters, waveguides etc. If possible, you really should learn optics in a hands-on way like that.But suppose now you have a class in optics. There are customary texts for this, like Optics (simulated optical bench W Boudville Traditionally, optics was often taught using a lab.

The best combination is Optics (4th Edition) for comprehension and Schaum's Outline of Optics for basic practice of what is covered in the textbook. Both books are written by the same author, and the first book might have been better if the author had incorporated more examples from his Schaum's outline into it.This book real

Illustrative resonator and waveguide modes are also part of the program mix as well as introductory laser theory. There are ce
