Required and recommended books:
The required text is Pedtrotti, INTRODUCTION TO OPTICS, 3rd Edition and recommended is Taylor,
INTRO. TO ERROR ANALYSIS and/or Bevington, DATA REDUCTION + ERROR ANAL. FOR PHYS. SCI.
Both Taylor and Bevington can be any edition. In addition you will need (ultimately)
two lab notebooks, so that you have one to work in while the other is graded. Purchase the
quad-ruled coop-style notebooks (brown covers) but avoid those with carbon paper. The Book
Exchange and campus bookstore usually stocks these (though you may have to ask for help to
find them) but Staples has them cheaper.
