It has put common sense back where it be Jules Verne longs, on the topmost shelf next to the dusty canister labelIed 'discard The series is divergent; therefore we ed nonsense'. may be able to do something with Eric T. Bell it. O. Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and nonlinearities 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 mathema tical physics ... '; 'One service logic has rendered computer science ... '; 'One service category theory has rendered mathematics ... '. All ar guably true. Alld all statements obtainable this way form part of the raison d 'etre of this serics.
