The errors that appeared in the early printing of this text have been corrected in the later printings that are now being made available from the publisher.This book is one of the only comprehensive classical optics textbooks at the advanced undergraduate level, and as such, fills an important niche. Practical material, such as image aberrations and radiometry, are handled here at a very accessible level, which makes the book a valuable professional reference.
