520 $aCharles Sanders Peirce was an American philosopher, logician, mathematician, and scientist sometimes known as "the father of pragmatism," and respected for his contributions to logic, mathematics, philosophy, scientific methodology, and semiotics. The New Elements focuses on mathematics--on pure mathematics, the pedagogy of mathematics, the logic, history, and philosophy of mathematics. This volume examines the subjects of algebra and geometry, as set against the growth of mathematics as a profession, accompanied by an unprecedented increase in the breadth and complexity of mathematical concepts. Peirce, with his polymathic talents, contributed to this growth.
