J. Richard Biichi is well known for his work in mathematical logic
and theoretical computer science. (He himself would have sharply
objected to the qualifier "theoretical," because he more or less
identified science and theory, using "theory" in a broader sense
and "science" in a narrower sense than usual.) We are happy to
present here this collection of his papers. I (DS)1 worked with
Biichi for many years, on and off, ever since I did my Ph.D. thesis
on his Sequential Calculus. His way was to travel locally, not
globally: When we met we would try some specific problem, but
rarely dis cussed research we had done or might do. After he died
in April 1984 I sifted through the manuscripts and notes left
behind and was dumbfounded to see what areas he had been in.
Essentially I knew about his work in finite au tomata, monadic
second-order theories, and computability. But here were at least
four layers on his writing desk, and evidently he had been working
on them all in parallel. I am sure that many people who knew Biichi
would tell an analogous story."
