Principles of Optics, colloquially known as Born and Wolf, is an optics textbook written by Max Born and Emil Wolf that was initially published in 1959 by Pergamon Press.[1] After going through six editions with Pergamon Press, the book was transferred to Cambridge University Press who issued an expanded seventh edition in 1999.[2] A 60th anniversary edition was published in 2019 with a foreword by Sir Peter Knight.[3] It is considered a classic science book and one of the most influential optics books of the twentieth century.[4]
