✦ Synopsis

Many powerful theorems of mathematical analysis have never been applied to problems that lie beyond the field of mathematics and physics. For example, in biomedical research integrals over the interval (0, CO) are always calculated with recipes derived from the trapezoidal rule, ignoring all the progress in numerical integration sinoe Kepler. In the first of t w o closely related papers in this journal (KNOIAE, 1986a/b) I suggested the use of GauB-Laguerre integration for the treatment of a nonlinear regression problem in pharmacokinetics. In the second paper
