Review text

This book -- unique in the literature -- provides readers with the mathematical background needed to design many of the optical combinations that are used in astronomical telescopes and cameras. It is an excellent reference for advanced graduate students, researchers and practitioners in applied mathematics, engineering, astronomy and astronomical optics. The work may be used as a supplementary textbook for graduate-level courses in astronomical optics, optical design, optical engineering, programming with \texttt{Mathematica}, or geometric optics.
