	Jones calculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Polarized light is represented by a Jones vector, and linear optical elements are represented by Jones matrices.
		It is common to normalize Jones vectors such that the sum of the squares of their components is 1.
		Note that Jones calculus is only applicable to light that is already fully polarized.

	Jones biography
		With assistance from Newton himself, Jones produced Analysis per quantitatum series, fluxiones, ac differentia in 1711 although it should be noted that this first edition of 1711 did not record either Newton's name nor that of Jones.
		Jones made a copy of the original Latin, giving it the title Artis analyticae specimina sive geometria analytic and it was this version which was eventually published.
		Jones was long associated with the Parker family and lived for long spells at their castle at Shirburn.

	Jones Calculus (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Jones Calculus is an extremely compact mathematical description of polarised light.
		The Jones vector is a two element column vector describe the amplitude and phase of electric field along the $X$ and $Y$ direction for a beam of light travelling along $Z$.
		The Jone's vector is then often normalised so the intensity is unity and the vector is written in its simplest form.

	More on Calculus
		Calculus is a central branch of mathematics, developed from algebra and geometry, and built on two major complementary ideas.
		Applications of integral calculus arise whenever the problem is to compute a number that is in principle (approximately) equal to the sum of the solutions of many, many smaller problems.
		The rigorous foundation of calculus is based on the notions of a function and of a limit; the latter has a theory ultimately depending on that of the real numbers as a continuum.

	Introduction to spectrometric modeling
		However, implementation of an optical calculus is the sine qua non of the spectrometric modeling task, so it may be useful* to take a brief look at what an optical calculus is and why it is essential to the task at hand.
		For Jones calculus, the optical vector describing the light is a complex two-vector, called the Jones vector, and the matrix describing the optical medium is a complex 2 by 2 matrix, called the Jones matrix for the component.
		For either calculus, the modification procedure involves multiplying the standard matrix by a pair of rotation matrices, with the original matrix sandwiched between the pair of rotation matrices.

		The Jones matrix is a means of representing the polarization characteristics of different optical components as two-by-two matrices.
		The Jones Calculus is a means of using Jones vectors and matrices in mathematical equations to predict the state of polarization of light after passing through various types of polarizing components.
		For the Jones matrix method, it becomes equally important that the input states of polarization are truly linear and spaced 45 degrees apart.

	SENG 609.03 Paper Review
		Typed lambda calculus defines an association between bounded variables in the untyped lambda calculus and types.
		Generally, a calculus is a set of rules for calculating or reasoning while an algebra is used to denote abstract behavior of a class of objects.
		Second-order lambda calculus provides a basis for modelling properties of a type system as a whole, while multisorted algebras provide a basis for modelling properties of individual types.

		A pure calculus of functional abstraction and function application, with applications throughout logic and computer science.
		The lambda calculus was first devised by Alonzo Church, first to provide a foundation for mathematics and then to show the existence of unsolvable problems.
		The connection between the lambda calculus and pure combinatory logic was exploited to yield efficient techniques for the evaluation of functional programs by the reduction of graphs of combinators.

	Characterizing Turbid Media Using Mueller Matrix Images (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Both Jones calculus and Mueller calculus use matrix algebra to determine theoretical results of polarization transformations of light.
		Jones calculus cannot represent circularly or elliptically polarized light in this same, direct manner without the use of, i [7].
		Thus, Mueller calculus is the better choice when dealing with the partial depolarization of light, which occurs during backscattering.

	First Draft
		In our calculation, Jones Calculus was preferred over Mueller Calculus, which gives more thorough and detailed description of the light and is used to represent even partially polarized light, because light was fully polarized by polaroid.
		Jones Calculus was used to calculate or theoretically predict the intenstiy of light transmitted through the setup of a linear polarizer, cellophane, and a second polarizer, respectively.
		Jones matrix representation of things doesn't always look the same.

	Method for eliminating birefringence in a fiber optic coupler and a coupler polarization corrector - Patent 4737005
		Hurwitz and Jones showed that the system 10 can be represented by the lumped birefringent elements shown in the equivalent representation of FIG.
		According to the Jones calculus described by Jones and Hurwitz the two elements 16 and 18 may be represented by the two matrices ##EQU1## The transformation represented in Eqn.
		Furthermore, recent theoretical analysis of many idealized birefringent couplers have shown that the idealized coupling between fibers is isotropic with respect to the orientation of polarization so that the two-port model of Jones and Hurwitz would seem to be useful even though it is not strictly applicable to a multi-port system.

		Even if distribution is an issue, because the policymaker believes Jones has an entitlement to burn flags, the appropriate policy is for the burning to be prohibited, but for the government to compensate Jones by paying him \$500, perhaps taxing Smith to obtain the funds.
		Since the harm and benefit from burning the flag are both emotional, Jones is unlikely to have a good estimate of $X$ and the Smithites are unlikely to have a good estimte of $Y$.
		When Jones burns the flag to convey his position on abortion, third parties may be glad that he has done so, because they find his message well worth listening to, and better than whatever they would have done with their attention instead.
