Product Description

Integral geometry originated with problems on geometrical probability and convex bodies. Its later developments 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars a treasure trove of material, reprinted, Dec 3 2010

By Narada "the wondering jew" - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

The exposition is less than perfect, but most people I know working int he area of integral geometery started with this book, and lived happy productive lives as a result. For the longest time out of print, but you don't have to read smudgy photocopies any more. The price is quite reasonable.
