Does anyone have a good link for optical theory (including mathematics) for the beginner?
Thanks to all for any replies…
Well, you can always downlaod the military “bible” of optics in .pdf format. The links are at the bottom of this website:

That’s huge, however.
There’s Edmund Optics (formerly Edmund SCientific) info pages:
Book wise, you can’t beat Sam Brown’s ‘Popular Optics’.
And of course there’s optics for Teens
There are several linked to the OSA (Optical Society of America) website:

While you’re there, you can go to “OPN Online” (Optics and Photonics News) and read some of the “Light Touch” columns I wrote (under my real name).
Thanks for the links! This should keep me occupied for a while…
