The definitive guide to the art and science of lens design—fully updated to reflect the latest advancesThis benchmark optical engineering resource offers an encyclopedic overview of all forms of lenses and optical systems. Revised from start to finish, this new edition brings all existing content up to date and adds new sections on design advances from the last 10 years. With this book in hand, there's no lens that you can't design.Modern Lens Design, Third Edition, leads you through the fundamentals and hands-on practices of optical engineering, covering time-tested methods for designing top-quality lenses. Long a paragon of design instruction, the book provides clear explanations, examples, and hands-on instruction and fully covers the latest software and optimization techniques.Features new coverage of cell phone cameras, panoramic and 360-degree lenses, and large-format focal planesClarifies and consolidates a wide range of crucial lens design informationTwo industry-recognized exp

A detailed study of the mechanical, physiological, and technical aspects of bicycle design, construction, and use, describing and picturing past, present, and experimental models.

Cleo and Evan have a secret. A collection of books so dangerous they are locked up tight. And only they can find the keys to release the magic inside! THE FUTURE IS UNDER ATTACK!A super-smart, super-evil computer network has taken over the world. And Cleo and Evan are the only ones who can take it down. But the network has sent robots, drones, and cyborgs to stop them. If they can find a way to pull the plug -- and find their next key -- Cleo and Evan just might survive this science fiction showdown!

Computer science and artificial intelligence in particular have no curriculum in research methods, as other sciences do. This book presents empirical methods for studying complex computer programs: ex
