Pre f ace
The success of the May 1982 Workshop which resulted in this volume was due in large measure to the active and friendly participation of all who attended, to the valued assistance of Rosemary Marciniak and Judy Bittner, and to the financial assistance granted by
SUNY
Buffalo.
We thank all these, and
especially thank Fatima Lawvere, whose dedicated efforts brought about the atmosphere which all enjoyed. For the preparation of this volume, the editors give thanks to Gail Berti for her excellent typing, and to the National Science Foundation for financial support. F. William Lawvere Stephen H. Schanuel
