   Hi,   
      
   I seek recommendations for an introductory text on optics.   
   I have an engineering degree, but no coursework in the   
   subject.  I'm unafraid of math, and studied some electromagnetic   
   theory, though I'm rusty there.   
      
   I looked at the Born & Wolf monster, but that's way   
   too dense, intended for the full time student.   
      
   Also, I'm confused on ray vs. geometric vs. Fourier vs. whatever optics.   
      
   Thx,   
      
      
   Mark
