Better than I expected
Having spoken with other people who'd studied optics before, their opinions of this book were mixed. Some who's opinions and study methods I really respected hated it, so I approached it with trepidation. But as I flicked through this 250-page book, I grew very fond of it. And I think you will too.Well-formatted, full of diagrams, it contains just enough mathematical equations to be a little scary without being completely off-putting. The text is concise, if sometimes a little brief, explaining difficult concepts well. Those who did not enjoy it complained that the diagrams were contradictory and confusing - I disagree. Although some of the diagrams are complex, with a little attention and thought they can help to clarify the idea that just sits beyond comprehension through the text alone.I liked it. If you're doing the Masters at Sydney Uni, it's a good choice.

"sweet and sour"
i'm sweet on the size and concise format of this book but i am also sour about the outdated nature of the material......it desperately needs an update. but worst of all is the plethora of misleading diagrams, really counterproductive in truth. still, texts on this subject matter are few and most avoid diagrams far more. the scope is broad but the bias is not towards current treatment and instrumentation.
