This classic work originated with problems on geometrical probability and convex bodies. Its later developments, however, have proved useful in several fields ranging from pure mathematics to technical and applied disciplines. The book is a systematic exposition of the theory and a compilation of the main results in the field. It can be used to complement courses on differential geometry, Lie groups or probability, or differential geometry. It is ideal both as a reference work and as a text for those wishing to enter the field. «
