Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the potential importance of measuring the CMB ani sotropy bispectrum. We develop a formalism for computing the bispectrum and for measuring it from microwave background maps. As an example, we compute the bispectrum resulting from the 2nd order Rees-Sciama effect; and find t hat is undetectable with current and upcoming missions. [S0556-2821(99)0111 0-8].
