Book Description
Originally published in 1928, this book deals with the physical and mathematical aspects of the symmetrical optical system. Steward's explanation is taken in part from lectures delivered to students of mathematics and physics at the University of Cambridge in the early twentieth century.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed examination of the geometrical aberrations of optical systems, primarily focusing on symmetrical systems. The author utilizes a powerful mathematical tool called the characteristic function, along with its variants such as the eikonal and aberration function, to thoroughly analyze and quantify these aberrations. By delving into the mathematical underpinnings of aberrations, the author establishes a framework for understanding their impact on optical imaging systems. The book presents a comprehensive overview of aberrations, starting with a discussion of basic concepts such as wavefronts, rays, and the relationship between geometrical optics and wave optics. It proceeds to explore various types of aberrations, including spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, and distortion, providing detailed mathematical formulations for each. The author also examines the impact of aberrations on image quality, discussing topics such as image spread, resolution, and the effects of different aberration combinations. The book concludes with a detailed exploration of the methods used to correct aberrations, including the use of optical components such as lenses and mirrors, as well as image processing techniques. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, engineers, and students working in the field of optics, offering a comprehensive and mathematically rigorous treatment of the geometrical aberrations of optical systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781527705609_0
