This book provides an introduction to optics and is mainly intended for undergraduate students of science and engineering. This book aims to provide the necessary foundation in optics which prepares the student for an intensive study of advanced topics in optics at a later stage. Much of optics requires a good knowledge of mathematics. The traditional approach appears to stress on the derivations, with a lesser attention paid to the physical concepts. As a result, the student feels the subject to be insipid, disconnected and far from inspiring. An attempt is made in this book to balance the requirements of students taking a course in physics and at the same time to make the subject interesting to them.
