Walsh Series and Transforms: Theory and Applications - Mathematics and its Applications Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1991 edition

'Et moi, ... , si j'avait su comment en revenir, One service mathematics has rendered the je n'y se.rais point aile.' human race. It has put common sense back Jules Verne where it belongs, on !be topmost shelf next to the dusty canister labelled 'disc:arded non­ sense'. The series is divergent; therefore we may be able to do something with it. Eric T. Bell O. Heaviside 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.
