Abstract

This is a book of mathematical models related to photographic science and engineering. More specifically, it is book of mathematical models of several of the chemical aspects of traditional photography. We say traditional photography to contrast our subject matter from digital photography, in which images are captured by arrays of CCDs, charge coupled devices — computer chips. We note that we are concerned with the chemical aspects of traditional photography, because we will not cover the other important aspect of traditional photography, namely, optics.
