Easy to understand and lots of sample problems to follow along as you try to understand equations. At the end of the chapters, there are 20-30 problems with answers. Unfortunately, the questions at the end of the chapters do not have an explanation of how they came up with the answer, but it's not hard to figure out. This book is great aid for first year optometry students.

The workbook came in good time. Also, just like what was stated on the description it was used. HOwever, overall in good condition. Only thing used about it was that the previous owner had highlighted in it. NO big deal.

I utilized this workbook almost solely for the practice problems and concept review before optics exams. I appreciated the practice problems and the answer key because the best way to understand this information and memorize the equation is to work the problems. Be careful to check for errors, as there are some equations written incorrectly. With that said, this is a good supplementary workbook but should not be the only source used.

I got this book very fast and it was brand new like it said. Very happy with my purchase.

I like the style in which this book is written. It makes it easier to learn about optics. I just wish that the formulas were all correct. Our professor had to give us pages of corrections pointing out errors in formulas, or error in simple math. I found a formula that used tangent when sine is what was needed. Since the angle was not small, this was a problem. Sometimes when I am looking at the examples in the book, I feel like a teacher going through a student's work trying to find where the student went wrong to get the answer that is given. I've never seen this many errors in a text book before.
