Further, the kind and level of sophistication of mathe matics applied in various sciences has changed drastically in recent years: measure theory is used (non-trivially) ~n re gional and theoretical economics; the Minkowsky lemma, coding theory and the structure of water meet one another in packing and covering theory;
