Optics, drawn on the board.

Drag the object. Orbit the bench in 3D. Watch the rays converge exactly where the maths says they will.

principal axis
The sign convention start here — it runs through every module

All distances measured from the pole. Light travels left→right = positive. Get the signs right and every formula just works.

pole + direction · incident light → + x − x object
