One SCI\'ice mathematics bas rendered the 'Et moi, .... si j'avait su comment en revcnir. je n'y serais point aile: human race. It bas put common sc:nsc back where it belongs, on the topmost shelf next Jules Verne to the dusty canister labelled 'discarded n- sense'. The series is divergent; therefore we may be able to do something with it. Eric T. Bell O. Hcavisidc 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 has 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.
