Eric T. Bell O. Hesvi.ide 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't!tre of this series.

Synopsis: A detailed analysis of the foundations of supermanifold theory, not from the usual approach of theoretical physics, but focusing on the global geometric aspects, and following a modified DeWitt-Rogers approach in order to outline the basic geometry of supermanifolds. Of interest to mathematicians and physicists, but also usable as a supplementary g
