Great book to have for preparing for the ABO exam!

[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is great, the only criticism I would give it is that it was compiled by three people, and the way they identify functions can be slightly different, for example n= index of refraction where as n in a different formula = thickness and t= index of refraction. So it would e nice if there was an umbrella of consistency.

This was actually my main source of studying for the ABO out of three well known books I used for studying. Simply because it's more advanced than books for beginners, it's short enough to use to cram and the practice questions were very helpful.
