Riassunto

Principles of Optics is one of the classic science books of the twentieth century. It presents optics deductively as a system based on Maxwell's equations. It deals with those optical phenomena that can be described with the help of a continuous distribution of matter and provides a complete picture of our knowledge of optics as a whole. This standard reference continues to be invaluable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working in any area of optics.
