A Treatise on the Mathematical Theory of Elasticity by A. E. H. Love Most complete treatment of classical elasticity in a single volume. An Introduction to Hamiltonian Optics by H. A. Buchdahl Excellent study of the Hamiltonian treatment of aberration theory in geometrical optics. Problems with detailed solutions. Of interest to chemists, physicists, and electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineers. Fundamental concepts, systematic study and design of all types of optical systems.
Reader can then design simpler optical systems without aid.
Applied Optics and Optical Design by A. E. Conrady Classic detailed treatment for practical designer. Fundamental concepts, systematic study and design of all types of optical systems. Reader can then design simpler optical systems without aid. Treatment is physical rather than mathematical. Hamilton s principle, the theory of the first variation and Bernoulli s separation method to solve such problems as the vibrating string, vibrating membrane and heat conduction.
