Overview

'Et moi, ..., si. j'avail su comment en revenir. One service mathematics has rendered !be human race. It has put common sense back jc n'y scrais point a1U: where it belongs, on the topmost sbelf next Jules Verne to \be dusty canister labelled 'discarded non- TIle series is divergent; therefore we may be sense'. able to do something with it Eric T. Bell O. Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and non- linearities abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sciences. Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above one finds such statements as: 'One service topology has rendered mathematical physics .. .'; 'One service logic bas rendered com- puter science .. .'; 'One service category theory has rendered mathematics .. .'. All arguably true. And all statements obtainable this way form part of the raison d'etre of this series.
