Light Science: Physics and the Visual Arts

by Thomas D. Rossing and Christopher J. Chiaverina

Book Overview

Intended for students in the visual arts and for others with an interest in art, this text presents the science of light -- that is, the science behind what and how we see. The approach emphasizes phenomena rather than mathematical theories and the joy of discovery rather than the drudgery of derivations -- the opposite of "heavy science."
