OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, the Crofton formula, named after Morgan Crofton (1826-1915), is a classic result of integral geometry relating the length of a curve to the expected number of times a random line intersects it.Suppose is a rectifiable plane curve. Given an oriented line l, let n (l) be the number of points at which and l intersect. We can parametrize the general line l by the direction in which it points and its signed distance p from the origin. Both sides of the Crofton formula are additive over concatenation of curves, so it suffices to prove the formula for a single line segment. Since the right-hand side does not depend on the positioning of the line segment, Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M. Surhone , Mariam T. Tennoe , Susan F.
