The series is divergent; therefore we may be Eric T.BeIl able to do something with il O. Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and nonlineari­ ties abound. Similarly, all kinds of pans of mathematics serve as tools for other pans and for other sci­ ences. Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above one finds such statements as: 'One ser­ vice topology has rendered mathematical physics ... '; 'One service logic has rendered computer science ... '; 'One service category theory has rendered mathematics .. .'. All arguably true. And all statements obtainable this way fonn pan of the raison d' 8tre of this series.
