    "abstract": "The various non-linear transformations incurred by the rays in an optical\nsystem can be modelled by matrix products up to any desired order of\napproximation. Mathematica software has been used to find the appropriate\nmatrix coefficients for the straight path transformation and for the\ntransformations induced by conical surfaces, both direction change and position\noffset. The same software package was programmed to model optical systems in\nseventh-order. A Petzval lens was used to exemplify the modelling power of the\nprogram.",
