This book is about wave theory of aberrations and includes the complete mathematical theory of aberrations. It also covers topics such as the aberration function, wave aberrations, ray caustics, aberration coefficients, pupil aberrations, the irradiance function, aberration fields and polarization aberrations. To fully understand the mathematical theory used in the book, one needs to have good knowledge of mathematics at the university level. This text is intended for graduate and Ph.D. students in optical engineering, as well as researchers in academia and industry who are interested in design and analysis of optical imaging systems.
