BcII able 10 do sometbiD& with it O. Heavilide Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly ncceuary tool in a world where both feedback and non- 1inearities 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 l'Iison d'etre of this series.
