Editorial Reviews for Geometric, Physical, and Visual Optics
|
|
Emphasizes conceptual understanding and development of optical intuition Uses the vergence-dioptric power-wavefront approach Incorporates fun everyday aspects of optics Helpful review for optometry boards and qualifying examinations With nearly 30 years of experience in teaching optics, Dr. Keating offers a new edition of this reader friendly book to enhance your understanding of geometric, physical and visual optics. Written primarily for optometry students, the core of basic optics, including thin lenses, ametropia corrections, accommodation, introductory astigmatism and refraction techniques, prisms, and prisms in lenses, are conveniently contained in the first 12 chapters. Many students need percolation time to absorb some of the abstract concepts in optics. Dr. Keating introduces some concepts in early chapters and then returns to a more advanced treatment in later chapters providing you with adequate time to absorb difficult concepts.

Summary: Like A Low Budget Physics Book
Comment: The book has all of the information you need, with hand drawn diagrams. The author goes to great pains to thoroughly explain each concept. For the price, I would have expected a professional artist, with color pages and better paper quality, but when all is said and done, the author is good at explaining the concepts.

Summary: Different from other texts
Comment: When learning geometric optics, one usually learns concepts and equations using ordinary algebra. In this text, linear algebra is used. It gives the reader another way to manipulate problems than typically used. Highly recommended!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good book for non-medical background study
Comment: The book is well written in the sense for people who want to have fundamental knowledge on optics in the sense of vision and image from human eyes. It also provides abundant infromation on the basics that help people from either engineering or medical background.

Summary: Easy to read & understand!!!
Comment: Dr. Keating has done an excellent job of putting his lectures into words. There is no better way to learn optics than to attend lectures, but if you can't, the next best thing is this book. As one of Dr. Keating's students, I can say that he wrote this book for students, keeping in mind that most of us have no clue about optics. He provides tons of examples along with complete explanations. I don't know how he does it...but Dr. Keating has made optics fun for me, and all of my friends!!!!!!
