It uses a novel approach to third-order aberration theory based on Fermats principle and the use of particular optical paths (called stigmatic paths) instead of rays, allowing for easier derivation of third-order formulae. Each optical combination analyzed is accompanied by a downloadable Mathematica notebook that automates its third-order design, eliminating the need for lengthy calculations.</p><p>The essential aspects of an optical system with an axis of rotational symmetry are introduced first, along with a development of Gaussian optics from Fermats principal. A simpler approach to third-order monochromatic aberrations based on both Fermats principle and stigmatic paths is then described, followed by a new chapter on fifth-order aberrations and their classification. Several specific optical devices are discussed and analyzed, including the Newtonian and Cassegrain telescopes; the Schmidt, Wright, Houghton, and Maksutov cameras; the Klevtsov telescope; the Baker-Schmidt flat-field camera; the Buchroeder camera; and, new in this edition, the Baker-Nunn camera and optical combinations with sub-corrector and Petzval objectives. Finally, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of geometric optics and Seidels third-order aberration theory are presented, and a new chapter considers optics in anisotropic media. Numerous diagrams, worked-out examples, and exercises for further practice of key concepts are included throughout the book.</p><p><em>Geometric Optics</em> is an excellent reference for advanced graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in applied mathematics, engineering, astronomy, and astronomical optics. It can also be used as a supplementary textbook for graduate-level courses inastronomical optics, optical design, optical engineering, programming with Mathematica, or geometric optics.</p>...2607578Geometric Optics21172352https://www.gandhi.com.mx/geometric-optics-9783319437323/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3096932/91800621-4fc3-42ec-90d8-296ca1fff9db.jpg?v=638384876329600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169783319437323_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_<p>This bookunique in the literatureprovides readers with the mathematical background needed to design many of the optical combinations that are used in astronomical telescopes and cameras.
