Synopsis
Now available in the Cambridge Mathematical Library, the classic work from Luis Santaló. 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.

Hardbound. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Description: Figure illustrations. The foreword by Mark Kac concludes, ''Complete and scholarly, the book also repeatedly belies the popular belief that applicability and elegance are incompatible. Above all the book should remind all of us that Probability Theory is measure theory with a 'soul' which in this case is provided not by Physics or by games of chance or by Economics but by the mot ancient and noble of all of mathematical disciplines, namely Geometry.''. This series is under the general editorship of Gian-Carlo Rota. This is the first volume in the series. BINDING/CONDITION: from a series with uniform bindings -- a dark red marbled looking binding with gilt text; the spine is somewhat skewed; Good condition. bibliography and references, indexes. 8vo (9.5 inches tall). 404 pages.
