Euler calculus is a methodology from applied algebraic topology and integral geometry that integrates constructible functions and more recently definable functions[1] by integrating with respect to the euler characteristic as a finitely-additive measure. It was introduced independently by Pierre Schapira[2][3][4] and Oleg Viro[5] in 1988, and is useful for enumeration problems in computational geometry and sensor networks.[6]
