Popis:	It is fitting that the celebration of Peirce's New Elements of Mathematics should be taking place in New York City, where Peirce was often to be found attending mathematical meetings at Columbia University and where he consulted the resources of the old Astor Library for the production of many of his writings. This paper considers Peirce—a lifelong student of logic—as he examined scientific and mathematical methodology on all levels, in ages past as well as in the then-contemporary literature. Peirce hoped to create an exact philosophy by applying the ideas of modern mathematical exactitude. He developed a semiotic pattern of mathematical procedure with which to test validity in all areas of investigation.
