Summary
This book presents the modern theory of the geometrical characteristics of random fields and explores their interdisciplinary applications.
The first five chapters concentrate on the theoretical and mathematical foundations of the expected measure of level sets, including critical points and Morse theory. They provide a streamlined proof of the Kac-Rice formula, adapted to non-Gaussian cases, and address the problem of the finiteness of moments. The text balances pedagogical explanati…
