He obtained his PhD in 1967 (Frankfurt) and his Habilitation in 1969 (Bochum), after which he was Assistant Professor at the University of Frankfurt (1970) and then Full Professor at Technische Universität Berlin (1970) and the University of Freiburg (1974). He became Professor Emeritus in 2005. He is an Honorary Doctor of the University of Salzburg and a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. With research interests primarily in convex geometry and stochastic geometry, he has over 200 publications, including the books \u003ci\u003eConvex Bodies: The Brunn-Minkowski Theory\u003c\/i\u003e and (with Wolfgang Weil) \u003ci\u003eStochastic and Integral Geometry\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 347\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 22, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47336793342201,"sku":"9783031151262","price":89.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/cTVieUtheXNCMkxoTkJoWllEeE5KUT09.webp?v=1769671219","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/convex-cones-geometry-and-probability-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
