'''''The Simplest Mathematics''''' is the title of a paper by [[Charles Sanders Peirce]], intended as Chapter 3 of his unfinished magnum opus ''The Minute Logic''. The paper is dated January–February 1902 but was not published until the appearance of his ''Collected Papers, Volume 4'' in 1933. Peirce introduces the subject of the paper as “certain extremely simple branches of mathematics which, owing to their utility in logic, have to be treated in considerable detail, although to the mathematician they are hardly worth consideration” (CP 4.227).
