Optics for Technology Students Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book: "Optics for Technology Students" by: Robert O. Naess fills a void in the area of academic texts.
There are all sorts of optics textbooks for students in 4 year engineering programs but there has been absolutely NOTHING for students in a two year technical program. Here at last is a text that does not have calculus as a prerequisite.
It is written in conversational format and does not have that air of talking down to students that is found in so many textbooks. This book is not only a good academic textbook, but it will also serve a function as a desk reference for technologists working in optics.
