Forty years after Clark Kerr coined the term multiversity, the American research university has continued to evolve into a complex force for social and economic good. This volume provides a unique opportunity to explore the current state of the research university system. Charles M. Vest, one of the leading advocates for autonomy for American higher education, offers a multifaceted view of the university at the beginning of a new century. With a complex mission and funding structure, the university finds its international openness challenged by new security concerns and its ability to contribute to worldwide opportunity through sharing and collaboration dramatically expanded by the Internet. In particular, Vest addresses the need to nurture broad access to our universities and stay true to the fundamental mission of creating opportunity.

A unified, comprehensive, self-contained treatment of theory, practice, and application, including related coherent optical techniques. Emphasizes quantitative evaluation of holographic interferograms of both opaque and transparent objects, explaining how tools such as the laser and holography are being applied to present-day measurement problems. Applies clear, simple, physical reasoning to present practical information and data; circumvents complicated mathematics wherever possible. Includes over 700 cited references, numerous line drawings and photographs, and several useful tables and equations relating optical data to physical properties.
