Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Theory of Optical Instruments<br/><br/>While the tract is primarily written with this practical aim, the writer ventures to hope that it may be useful in drawing the attention of Pure Mathematicians to some attractive theorems: of special interest is Klein's application Of the imaginary circle at infinity to establish the result 30) that no Optical instrument can possibly be constructed, other than the plane mirror, so as to be capable of transforming all the points of the Object-space into points of the image-space. The writer moreover believes that the customary course Of' Geometrical Optics presented to mathematical students in Universities might with advantage be modified: and Offers the present tract as a! Suggestion to this end.
