Selected Works of Luis Antonio Santaló
Santaló (Spain 1911 - Argentina 2001) contributed to several branches of Geometry, perhaps his most outstanding achievement being his having laid the mathematical foundations of Stereology and its applications. Considerable power of abstraction, a brilliant geometric intuition and his outstanding gifts as a disseminator of science were among his virtues. The present volume contains a selection of his best papers edited by Antonio M. Naveira and Augustí Reventós in collaboration with Graciela S. Birman and Ximo Gual-Arnau. Part I consists of a short biography and some photographs along with a complete list of his publications, classified into research papers, books, and articles on educati...

Integral Geometry and Geometric Probability
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). This book is a systematic exposition of the theory and a compilation of the main results in the field. The volume can be used for a one-semester undergraduate course in probability and differential geometry or as a complement to classical courses on differential geometry, Lie groups, or probability.
