Abstract
Geostatistics is a rapidly evolving branch of applied mathematics which originated in the mining industry in the early fifties to help improve ore reserve calculation. The first steps were taken in South Africa, with the work of the mining engineer DG Krige and the statistician HS Sichel (see reference number [136] in the bibliography).
