‎First printing. In the 1820s, yet another pupil of Gauss, August Ferdinand Mobius (1790-1868), also developed an interest in geometrical optics, but the papers that he devoted to the subject were also very much part of the eighteenth-century tradition of dioptrics and catoptrics. Taking the basics of this kind of optics for granted, he concentrated on the simplification of the calculations involved [The present paper].
