Product Description
Covering a broad range of fundamental topics in classical optics and electro-magnetism, this updated, second edition contains 13 new chapters, which cover many topics of fundamental significance as well as practical importance. The first half of the book deals primarily with the basic concepts of optics, while the second half describes how these concepts can be used in a variety of technological applications. Each chapter is concerned with a single topic, developing an understanding of the subject through the use of diagrams, examples, numerical simulations, and logical arguments. The mathematical content is kept to a minimum to provide the reader with insightful discussions of optical phenomena.

This book gathers all the important concepts of optics, and especially the ones which are more difficult to grasp, and describes them fantastically. The author is very original and also very clear in describing the concepts.
The book, with its examples and explanations, is an interesting read. I read it in my weekend leisure time; relaxing on my recliner and contemplating the concepts of Optics; so enjoyable
Rating: 5 / 5
I strongly recommend this book to those who already have learned optics in undergraduate level and want to dig more about this area. This book contains a lot of interesting and important optics phenomena, which are written in a very clear way and shown by vivid figures, just as the lessons Prof. Mansuripur is teaching.

I bought this book after looking a few articles by Masud in Optics and Photonics News. Very well written, and low on mathematics, masud succeeds in telling his story with the aid of examples and pictures. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in optics and wants to get a broad overview of many concepts which are relevant to this field. You won’t find a better introduction than this book.
