Not the most lucid text on optics, but certainly functional. This is a dense text to try to learn from in the absence of additional resources or background -- it was clearly meant to be used in conjunction with an instructor.
When learning geometric optics, one usually learns concepts and equations using ordinary algebra. In this text, linear algebra is used. It gives the reader another way to manipulate problems than typically used. Highly recommended!
The book has all of the information you need, with hand drawn diagrams. The author goes to great pains to thoroughly explain each concept. For the price, I would have expected a professional artist, with color pages and better paper quality, but when all is said and done, the author is good at explaining the concepts.
The book is well written in the sense for people who want to have fundamental knowledge on optics in the sense of vision and image from human eyes. It also provides abundant infromation on the basics that help people from either engineering or medical background.
