Geometric Aspects of Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics

It is well known that contemporary mathematics includes many disci­ plines. Among them the most important are: set theory, algebra, topology, geometry, functional analysis, probability theory, the theory of differential equations and some others. Furthermore, every mathematical discipline consists o...
