Highly regarded for its exceptional clarity, imaginative and instructive exercises, and fine writing style, this concise book offers an ideal introduction to the fundamentals of topology. Originally conceived as a text for a one-semester course, it is directed to undergraduate students whose studies of calculus sequence have included definitions and proofs of theorems.

The book's principal aim is to provide a simple, thorough survey of elementary topics in the study of collections of objects, or sets, that possess a mathematical structure.The author begins with an informal discussion of set theory in Chapter 1, reserving coverage of countability for Chapter 5, where it appears in the context of compactness. In the second chapter Professor Mendelson discusses metric spaces, paying particular attention to various distance functions which may be defined on Euclidean n-space and which lead to the ordinary topology.Chapter 3 takes up the concept of topological space, presenting it as a generalization of the concept of a metric space. Chapters 4 and 5 are devoted to a discussion of the two most important topological properties: connectedness and compactness.

Throughout the text, Dr. Mendelson, a former Professor of Mathematics at Smith College, has included many challenging and stimulating exercises to help students develop a solid grasp of the material presented.

See also: andFourier optics is the study of classical using (FTs), in which the waveform being considered is regarded as made up of a combination, or, of plane waves. It has some parallels to the, in which the wavefront is regarded as being made up of a combination of spherical wavefronts whose sum is the wavefront being studied.

A key difference is that Fourier optics considers the plane waves to be natural modes of the propagation medium, as opposed to Huygens–Fresnel, where the spherical waves originate in the physical medium.A curved phasefront may be synthesized from an infinite number of these 'natural modes' i.e., from plane wave phasefronts oriented in different directions in space. Far from its sources, an expanding spherical wave is locally tangent to a planar phase front (a single plane wave out of the infinite spectrum), which is transverse to the radial direction of propagation. In this case, a pattern is created, which emanates from a single spherical wave phase center. In the near field, no single well-defined spherical wave phase center exists, so the wavefront isn't locally tangent to a spherical ball.

In this case, a pattern would be created, which emanates from an extended source, consisting of a distribution of (physically identifiable) spherical wave sources in space. In the near field, a full spectrum of plane waves is necessary to represent the Fresnel near-field wave, even locally. A 'wide' moving forward (like an expanding ocean wave coming toward the shore) can be regarded as an infinite number of ', all of which could (when they collide with something in the way) scatter independently of one other. These mathematical simplifications and calculations are the realm of – together, they can describe what happens when light passes through various slits, lenses or mirrors curved one way or the other, or is fully or partially reflected.Fourier optics forms much of the theory behind, as well as finding applications where information needs to be extracted from optical sources such as in. To put it in a slightly more complex way, similar to the concept of and used in traditional, Fourier optics makes use of the domain ( k x, k y) as the conjugate of the spatial ( x, y) domain. Terms and concepts such as transform theory, spectrum, bandwidth, window functions and sampling from one-dimensional are commonly used. Main article:The theory on optical transfer functions presented in section 4 is somewhat abstract.

However, there is one very well known device which implements the system transfer function H in hardware using only 2 identical lenses and a transparency plate - the 4F correlator. Although one important application of this device would certainly be to implement the mathematical operations of and, this device - 4 focal lengths long - actually serves a wide variety of image processing operations that go well beyond what its name implies. A diagram of a typical 4F correlator is shown in the figure below (click to enlarge). This device may be readily understood by combining the plane wave spectrum representation of the electric field ( section 2) with the Fourier transforming property of quadratic lenses ( section 5.1) to yield the optical image processing operations described in section 4. 4F CorrelatorThe 4F correlator is based on the from theory, which states that in the spatial ( x, y) domain is equivalent to direct multiplication in the spatial frequency ( k x, k y) domain (aka: spectral domain).

Once again, a plane wave is assumed incident from the left and a transparency containing one 2D function, f( x, y), is placed in the input plane of the correlator, located one focal length in front of the first lens. The transparency spatially modulates the incident plane wave in magnitude and phase, like on the left-hand side of eqn.

(2.1), and in so doing, produces a spectrum of plane waves corresponding to the FT of the transmittance function, like on the right-hand side of eqn. That spectrum is then formed as an 'image' one focal length behind the first lens, as shown. A transmission mask containing the FT of the second function, g( x, y), is placed in this same plane, one focal length behind the first lens, causing the transmission through the mask to be equal to the product, F( k x, k y) x G( k x, k y). This product now lies in the 'input plane' of the second lens (one focal length in front), so that the FT of this product (i.e., the of f( x, y) and g( x, y)), is formed in the back focal plane of the second lens.If an ideal, mathematical point source of light is placed on-axis in the input plane of the first lens, then there will be a uniform, collimated field produced in the output plane of the first lens.

When this uniform, collimated field is multiplied by the FT plane mask, and then Fourier transformed by the second lens, the output plane field (which in this case is the impulse response of the correlator) is just our correlating function, g( x, y). In practical applications, g( x, y) will be some type of feature which must be identified and located within the input plane field (see Scott 1998). In military applications, this feature may be a tank, ship or airplane which must be quickly identified within some more complex scene.The 4F correlator is an excellent device for illustrating the 'systems' aspects of optical instruments, alluded to in section 4 above. The FT plane mask function, G( k x, k y) is the system transfer function of the correlator, which we'd in general denote as H( k x, k y), and it is the FT of the impulse response function of the correlator, h( x, y) which is just our correlating function g( x, y). And, as mentioned above, the impulse response of the correlator is just a picture of the feature we're trying to find in the input image.

In the 4F correlator, the system transfer function H( k x, k y) is directly multiplied against the spectrum F( k x, k y) of the input function, to produce the spectrum of the output function. This is how electrical signal processing systems operate on 1D temporal signals.Afterword: Plane wave spectrum within the broader context of functional decomposition Electrical fields can be represented mathematically in many different ways. In the or -Chu viewpoints, the electric field is represented as a superposition of point sources, each one of which gives rise to a field.

The total field is then the weighted sum of all of the individual Green's function fields. That seems to be the most natural way of viewing the electric field for most people - no doubt because most of us have, at one time or another, drawn out the circles with protractor and paper, much the same way Thomas Young did in his classic paper on the. However, it is by no means the only way to represent the electric field, which may also be represented as a spectrum of sinusoidally varying plane waves. In addition, proposed still another based on his, defined on the unit disc. The third-order (and lower) Zernike polynomials correspond to the normal lens aberrations. And still another functional decomposition could be made in terms of and Airy functions, as in the and the.

All of these functional decompositions have utility in different circumstances. The optical scientist having access to these various representational forms has available a richer insight to the nature of these marvelous fields and their properties. These different ways of looking at the field are not conflicting or contradictory, rather, by exploring their connections, one can often gain deeper insight into the nature of wave fields.Functional decomposition and eigenfunctions The twin subjects of expansions and, both briefly alluded to here, are not completely independent.

The eigenfunction expansions to certain linear operators defined over a given domain, will often yield a countably infinite set of which will span that domain. Depending on the operator and the dimensionality (and shape, and boundary conditions) of its domain, many different types of functional decompositions are, in principle, possible.See also.References.
