An understanding of the fundamental principles of geometrical and physical optics is essential for any student engaged in the study of the visual sciences, but the non-physicist needs a text which clearly explains these notoriously difficult concepts in order to apply them to the practical and clinical aspects of vision. Optics by Freeman and Hull fulfils this requirement admirably.

Key Features

Comprehensive information on optics makes this book the definitive source on the subject
A bright, two-color design enhances the text and aids the reader's understanding
