Excerpt from Manual of Advanced OpticsThis small manual is an attempt to meet the needs of the more advanced students of Optics. It has been written primarily for the use of the author's classes in the University of Chicago, and it covers the work done by them during three months of their senior year. It is hoped, however, that it will be found useful at other universities and will serve as a stimulus to a more extensive study of this most fascinating branch of science.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
