An introduction to geometrical probability

distributional aspects with applications

  • 1 Currently reading

An in-depth look at applied and geometrical probability with an emphasis on statistical distributions, this text is a meticulous treatment of geometrical probability, kept at a level to appeal to a wider audience from a variety of different disciplines.
A few topics such as packing and covering problems that have a vast literature are introduced here at a peripheral level for the purpose of familiarizing readers who are new to the area of research.
