Perhaps the recent history of geometrical optics can be seen from the point of view of textbook simplification, with an attendant increase in the number of optics practitioners. Early in the twentieth century, Conrady’s Applied Optics and Optical Design set the standard for a complete, useful, strict, and unreadable book. But Conrady’s book was perfectly appro- priate for a time when lens designers had one of the most tedious jobs on earth. The mettle of the potential designer had to be tested; after surviving Conrady, the idea of spending days and nights in the company of log tables to trace one skew ray seemed perhaps not too daunting. Computers, lasers, and all of the developments that have led to the so-called Photonics revolution bave caused a large increase in the number of optics Practitioners. Often engineers with no formal optics training beyond that of basic physics find themselves in a position of having to deal with optics at an advanced level. Optical design software is now widely available, sometimes at an incredibly low price, and the mere availability is creating new users. Of equal importance 1s the fact that in the past couple of decades, the mentality, expectations, and background of the students have changed considerably. And as a rule, textbooks in geometrical optics have not kept pace with those developments. Our aim is to provide an up-to-date treatment of the introductory aspects of geometrical optics that can be used by a variety of students at different levels, from undergraduate to introductory graduate. We also hope that those
