1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Book - Avoid At All Cost, October 9, 2005
This review is from: Optics: An Introduction for Technicians and Technologists (Paperback)
I was considering using this book for an optics course I teach and had a good look through it. The book is terrible, one of the worst I have ever read. It simply has very little useful information. Its as if the authors randomly left out two-thirds of the information the students would need to understand anything. There are terms, variables, drawings, etc. that aren't explained. There are simple, standard explanations that are left out. And there are many mistakes in the formulae. If you buy this book and try to read it, you will be thoroughly confused.
