Learning Resources for Photometry, Radiometry, Optics

Hi,

I'm looking for resources for understanding the topics in the title. I prefer video tutorials as opposed to books but I couldn't find any video resources on Photometry and Radiometry (I guess I'll have to settle for books). As for Optics, I plan on studying the series on Khan Academy/iLectureOnline (unless you guys suggest something else).

In general I'm looking for resources that would help me understand the physics behind Radiance(the command line program), Daylighting, Sky types, Illuminance, Luminance, Radiation etc.

I have a background in multivariable calculus so it might be easier for me to understand those topics in terms of Math. I do have an idea of those topics, but they're descriptive for the most part, not concrete. But of course it'd be better if they're both descriptive and mathematical.

Let me know if I've missed some topics that would be crucial for understanding Radiance.

Thanks!
