Book Description
Originally published in 1928, this book deals with the physical and mathematical aspects of the symmetrical optical system. Steward's explanation is taken in part from lectures delivered to students of mathematics and physics at the University of Cambridge in the early twentieth century.

The Elementary Theory of the Symmetrical Optical Instrument (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an elementary theory for symmetrical optical instruments, exploring the optical properties of a refracting surface and an instrument consisting of several surfaces. The author establishes key optical concepts, such as the power of a surface, the reduced distance, and the divergence produced by a surface. The text examines the relationship between the constants of the instrument and its structure, demonstrating how to calculate these constants using the power and reduced distance of the last refracting surface. It explores the dependence of optical properties on the instrument's constitution and uses this understanding to derive fundamental equations and magnication formulae. The book concludes by discussing the importance of nodal points and the concept of apparent distance. This book is valuable for its clear explanation of the fundamental principles of symmetrical optical instruments, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of optics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
