It has put common sense back Jules Verne where it belongs, on the topmost shelf next to the dusty canister labelled 'discarded non* The series is divergent; therefore we may be sense'. able to do something with it. Eric T. Bell O. Hea viside 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.
