Books By Georges (Professor, Professor, Paris School of Mines) Matheron - Author

Dr. Georges Matheron (December 2, 1930 - August 7, 2000) was a French mining engineer and mathematician. Starting from the works of Krige and de Wijs, from South Africa, he created a theory for estimating mining resources that he named geostatistics. During the Sixties, he extended geostatistics by developing a regression method for the cartography of natural phenomena, known as universal kriging. From 1965 to 1968, Dr Matheron co-founded the new discipline of mathematical morphology for describing set shapes and textures. He then developed a theory of the random structures involved in mathematical morphology. During the 1980s he generalized the theory of mathematical morphology to complete lattices, thus providing a common approach to sets, functions and partitions, and introduced morphological filtering. He left the Paris School of Mines in 1995, when he retired. Dr. Vera Pawlowsky-Glahn's main research topic since 1982 has been the statistical analysis of compositional data. She was the leader of a resea
