INTEGRAL GEOMETRY AND CONVEXITY
Proceedings of the International Conference
Wuhan, China 18 - 23 October 2004
edited by Eric L Grinberg (University of New Hampshire, USA), Shougui Li (Wuhan University of Sciences and Technology, China), Gaoyong Zhang (Polytechnic University, USA) & Jiazu Zhou (Guizhou Normal University, China)
Integral geometry, known as geometric probability in the past, originated from Buffon�s needle experiment. Remarkable advances have been made in several areas that involve the theory of convex bodies. This volume brings together contributions by leading international researchers in integral geometry, convex geometry, complex geometry, probability, statistics, and other convexity related branches. The articles cover both recent results and exciting directions for future research.
