Alright, so I have an exam tomorrow morning, and it is my intention to stay up all night to study for it. I am studying out of Joseph Goodman's Introduction to Fourier Optics 3rd edition. I am having some issues with the underlying concepts behind this book and I would like to pose some questions in hopes that someone out there will be able to explain some things to me.
Green's Theorem: What is it's relevance in Fourier Optics?
How does a wave propagate? Without boundary conditions, with an aperture, etc. What is the math behind it and why?
This book is dense with math, and pretty sparse of explanation.
I'll post this up now and look for further examples from previous homeworks and post them up, too. If you're interested in helping at all, please respond to this so I know someone out there understands this stuff. x.x
