OPSC100 Mathematics for Optics and Photonics - Lectures

This course reviews and develops the mathematics skills required for the certificate program in Photonics and Lasers. To help aspiring photonics technicians begin their studies with adequate math skills, this course pulls together topics in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, usage of physical units, and phasors, and applies those to specific, real-world optics and photonics scenarios. At the same time, the student becomes acquainted with terminology used to describe electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic energy, and laser and optical fiber systems.
