PREFACE The tit1e of this booklet refers to a topie in geometrie
analysis which has its origins in results of Funk [1916] and Radon [1917] determining, respeetive1y, a synmatrie funetion on the twosphere 52 fran its great cire1e integrals and a funetion on the plane R 2 fran its 1ine integrals (See Referenees) .
Reeent deve1op-
ments, in particu1ar applieations to partial differential equations, X-ray techno1ogy, and radioastronany, have widened interest in the subjeet. These notes eonsist of a revision of 1eetures given at MIT in the Fall of 1966, based roostly on my papers during 1959 - 1965 on the Radon transfonn and some of its generalizations.
