Yup; you are.
I was planning to offer to scan or photo. my reference for you and, lo and behold, found one of the authors offers it free:
http://spie.org/etop/1991/389_1.pdf
Very similar to "my" text (Nussbaum and Phillips, Contemp. Optics for Scis. and Engs.
bc
p.s. aspheric mirror fortran program included; spherical not (too easy?)
And also, inter alia,

[AJP 47 351 (1979)] Same author (Advanced geometric optics on a programmable pocket calculator)
All this is a bit old, i.e. 1977.
Your copy:
9780131701830: Contemporary Optics for Scientists and Engineers - AbeBooks - Nussbaum, Allen;Phillips, Richard A.: 0131701835

Am I missing something?
For a refraction, the matrix method generates linear equations as a
paraxial approximation of the application of Snell's law.
Please instruct me if I am mistaken.
