Mathematical Methods for Optical Physics and Engineering
Author: Gregory J. GburPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139492691
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 819
Book Description
The first textbook on mathematical methods focusing on techniques for optical science and engineering, this text is ideal for upper division undergraduate and graduate students in optical physics. Containing detailed sections on the basic theory, the textbook places strong emphasis on connecting the abstract mathematical concepts to the optical systems to which they are applied. It covers many topics which usually only appear in more specialized books, such as Zernike polynomials, wavelet and fractional Fourier transforms, vector spherical harmonics, the z-transform, and the angular spectrum representation. Most chapters end by showing how the techniques covered can be used to solve an optical problem. Essay problems based on research publications and numerous exercises help to further strengthen the connection between the theory and its applications.
A Treatise on Physical Optics (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on Physical Optics Those who are acquainted with the Mathematical Theories of Hydrodynamics, Sound and Elasticity on the one hand, and of Electricity and Light on the other, cannot fail to have been struck with the difference, which exists between the two classes of subjects. In the former class, certain equations are obtained, which approximately, though not quite accurately, specify in a mathematical form, the physical state of fluids and solids as they exist in Nature; and the subsequent investigation of these branches of Science, is thereby in great measure reduced to a question of mathematics. As soon as the fundamental equations are established, the subject is brought within the dominion of mathematical analysis, and mathematicians are enabled to exercise their ingenuity and analytical skill, in elaborating and developing the results which flow from them.

A Short Elementary Treatise on Experimental and Mathematical Optics (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from A Short Elementary Treatise on Experimental and Mathematical Optics In the present instance, the author's object is to facili tate the tudy of Elementary Optics, with immediate refer ence to the wants of the student, circumstanced as he at present is in the University of Oxford. To this particular case none of the existing treatises appear completely adapted; and though such is the discouragement under which physical studies labour in this place, that the mere character of the treatises produced on these branches, can, perhaps, very little affect their actual progress; yet that no obstacle may remain which is capable of being removed, he considers it worth while to try to remedy the complaints against existing works, whether as too large and too difficult on the one hand, or as incomplete and obscure on the other.

Book Description
Excerpt from Physical Optics The present volume was commenced at a time when Preston's Theory of Light was practically the only advanced text book on the subject in English, suitable for general class work. This work, while excellent in every respect, could scarcely be said to represent our present knowledge of the subject. Anomalous dispersion and the relation existing between absorption and dispersion was barely mentioned, and of course the recent remarkable discoveries in the field of magneto-optics were not recorded. In the meantime two very excellent books have appeared, the English translation of Drude's Lehrbuch der Optik, which cannot be surpassed, and Schuster's Theory of Optics which, while extremely interesting and suggestive, omits all mention of the Laws of Radiation, Fluorescence and Phosphorescence, and the whole subject of the "Optics of moving media." In the present volume especial stress has been laid on the experimental side, and it is the authors hope that the perhaps too frequent references to experiments with which he has been more or less directly associated, will not be taken as an indication of a lack of perspective. No pretence at originality in the mathematical treatment is made: the work has been compiled to a great extent from lecture notes, and many plagiarisms doubtless occur. The excellent theoretical treatment, based upon the electro-magnetic theory, given by Drude, has been followed very closely, and it is hoped that this acknowledgment may serve in place of the numerous quotation marks which would otherwise be necessary. Various other standard text-books have been drawn upon freely, especially the very comprehensive work of Verdet. Too much space has perhaps been given to the theory of dispersion, and the incorporation of the somewhat lengthy development of the dispersion formula by elementary methods, based upon the elastic-solid theory, may appear superfluous.

A System of Applied Optics

Pages : 398
Book Description
Excerpt from A System of Applied Optics: Being a Complete System of Formulæ of the Second Order, and the Foundation of a Complete System of the Third Order, With Examples of Their Practical Application I trust that the student of Optics who casually scans the pages Of this work for the first time, will not be alarmed by the complicated appearance of some of the formulae employed in the course of working Out the conclusions, and therefore infer that it is necessary to be highly trained in mathematics in order to follow the lines of reasoning employed. For such is not the case; all that is really necessary in the mathematical equipment of the student being an easy acquaintance with the ordinary manipulations of Algebra, together with a clear grasp of the Binomial Theorem, the chief propositions of Euclid, and the rudiments of the Differential Calculus. That granted, and given some instinct for the practical application of what he knows, then he will have no insuperable difficulty in following this work from cover to cover. The greater part is easy compared to the numerous problems and theorems which the average university student is called upon to solve, and which in so many cases are treated as of purely theoretical interest. After all, is not that the truest and most fruitful teaching of mathematics which fully recognises the mutual support between. Theory and practice? Otherwise it is but natural if the student cleaves to the one and despises the other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from On the Undulatory Theory of Optics: Designed for the Use of Students in the University This Treatise on the Undulatory Theory of Optics was first printed in the year 1831, as the last Essay in the Second Edition of a series of Mathematical Tracts; and was subsequently reprinted, occupying a similar place, in successive editions of that work. At the suggestion of the Publisher, it has now, with my approval, been printed in a separate form. Its arrange ment and details are however the same, without material alteration as in the Fourth Edition of the Mathematical Tracts.
