    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)

    Table of Contents (26k)
    Preface (27k)
    Chapter 1: Volume Inequalities for Sets Associated with Convex Bodies (152k)

    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.
