This book covers a broad range of the major topics of classical optics, in the form of 37 self-contained chapters. The chapters in the first half of the book deal primarily with the basic concepts of optics, while those in the second half describe how these concepts can be used in a variety of technological applications. In each chapter, Professor Mansuripur introduces and develops a specialized topic in a comprehensive, clear and pedagogical style. The mathematical content is kept to a minimum as the book aims to provide the reader with insightful discussions of optical phenomena, at a level which is both accessible and interesting.
