The field of radiometry and photometry is full of obsolete units and misunderstanding of used concepts. This is a result of field development without early standardization. Now there are standards but a lot of the literature still uses obsolete units. This book presents fundamental concepts of radiometry and photometry in a very clear and direct way. It should be used as a reference manual by people working intermittently in radiometry and photometry who periodically need a concise introduction or refresher course. It can also be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students. The author assumes that the reader has some knowledge of university-level mathematics. Readers possessing limited mathematical skills can skip mathematical derivations and focus mainly on results.
