Integral Geometry and Geometric Probability Summary

Integral Geometry and Geometric Probability by Luis A. Santalo (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Now available in the Cambridge Mathematical Library, the classic work from Luis Santalo. Integral geometry originated with problems on geometrical probability and convex bodies. Its later developments, however, have proved to be useful in several fields ranging from pure mathematics (measure theory, continuous groups) to technical and applied disciplines (pattern recognition, stereology). The book is a systematic exposition of the theory and a compilation of the main results in the field. The volume can be used to complement courses on differential geometry, Lie groups or probability or differential geometry. It is ideal both as a reference and for those wishing to enter the field.
