VERY GOOD: The book is in very good condition, showing only slight signs of use and wear (namely, a slight bend in the front upper corner). The pages are clean and the spine is intact.Product Details
From the back cover: "Now available in the Cambridge Mathematical Library, this classic work from Louis Santaló,Integral Geometry originated with problems on geometrical probability and convex bodies. Its later developments, however, have proved 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."BRIEF CONTENTS
