This second edition of Lens Design: Automatic and quasi-autonomous computational methods and techniques shows how these new tools can design systems in minutes that would have required weeks or months of labor using older methods. No practising lens designer's toolkit is complete without the up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge presented here.
