Book Description
Excerpt from A Short Elementary Treatise on Experimental and Mathematical Optics In the present instance, the author's object is to facili tate the study of Elementary Optics, with immediate refer ence to the wants of the student, circumstanced as he at present is in the University of Oxford. To this particular case none of the existing treatises appear completely adapted; and though such is the discouragement under which physical studies labour in this place, that the mere character of the treatises produced on these branches, can, perhaps, very little affect their actual progress; yet that no obstacle may remain which is capable of being removed, he considers it worth while to try to remedy the complaints against existing works, whether as too large and too difficult on the one hand, or as incomplete and obscure on the other.

Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace--but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as The Mathematical Theory of Communication, published originally as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago. Republished in book form shortly thereafter, it has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings. It is a revolutionary work, astounding in its foresight and contemporaneity. The University of Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting of a classic.
