Theory of Lenses by E.W.H. Selwyn vintage pocket book by the Institute Of Physics Monographs For Students”Institute of Physics. London Monographs for Students” was a series of books published by the Institute of Physics and IOP Publishing, likely from the mid-20th century, though the original “Monographs for Students” title is not a current main series. These older, now likely out-of-print, titles were aimed at students, covering topics like D.C. analogue computers, and can be found on used bookseller sites. Today, IOP Publishing offers modern series for students, such as the “IOP Concise Physics” and “IOP Series in Physics Education,” alongside a range of research and reference texts.
