    Extractions: Gottfried Leibniz laid the modern foundation of the movement from decimal to binary as far back as 1666 (the same year as the Great Fire of London) with his "On the Art of Combination", laying out a method for reducing all logic to exact statements. Leibniz believed logic, or ‘the laws of thought’ could be moved from a verbal state - which was subject to the ambiguities of language, tone and circumstance - into an absolute mathematical condition. "A sort of universal language or script, but infinitely different from all those projected hitherto, for the symbols and even words in it would direct the reason, and errors, except for those of fact, would be mere mistakes in calculation. It would be very difficult to form or invent this language or characteristic, but very easy to understand it without any dictionaries." The concept was probably a bit high-flown for his time, and Leibniz' idea was ignored by the scientific community of his day. He let his proposition drop - until about ten years later when the Chinese "Book of Changes", or "I Ching", came his way.

    Extractions: died: November 14, 1716 at Hanover If Leibniz was not as penetrating a mathematician as Newton, he was perhaps a broader one, and while inferior to his English rival as an analyst and mathematical physicist, he probably had a keener mathematical imagination and a superior instinct for mathematical form. (Howard Eves) Co-inventor of calculus. Introduced the dy/dx and notations. Invented combinatorial analysis and made important initial contributions to symbolic logic. Lawyer. Diplomat. During his diplomatic duties in Paris in 1672, Leibniz met Christian Huygens, a physicist who knew a lot of mathematics, and Huygens agreed to teach Leibniz some of the 'newer' mathematics. By 1676, Leibniz had discovered many of the formulas of calculus as well as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, 11 years after Newton's unpublished discovery. He introduced and used much of the notation commonly encountered in elementary calculus including the ratio dy/dx to denote a derivative and the familiar (at least to calculus students) (an elongated "S" for the Latin word summa or sum), to denote an integral. He devoted most of the rest of his life to diplomacy and work as the librarian for the Duke of Hanover, but he did find time to start one journal and to found the Berlin Academy of Science.

    Extractions: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, 1646- , German philosopher and mathematician. Leibniz, a central figure in the European Enlightenment, is known for several works: his Theodicy ), for which he was often accused (including by Voltaire ) of advocating a mindless optimism in this, the "best of all possible worlds"; and his Monadology ), a theory of substance which grounded matter in entities he called "monads." He was a critic of John Locke 's notion of the mind as a tabula rasa . Leibniz was also a prominent mathematician, and developed calculus independently of Sir Isaac Newton , for which he was accused of plagiary by the Royal Society a charge of which modern critics have acquitted him.

    Extractions: From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (or Leibniz At Paris he met Huygens who was then residing there, and their conversation led Leibnitz to study geometry, which he described as opening a new world to him; though as a matter of fact he had previously written some tracts on various minor points in mathematics, the most important being a paper on combinations written in 1668, and a description of a new calculating machine. In January, 1673, he was sent on a political mission to London, where he stopped some months and made the acquaintance of Oldenburg, Collins, and others; it was at this time that he communicated the memoir to the Royal Society in which he was found to have been forestalled by Mouton. In 1673 the Elector of Mainz died, and in the following year Leibnitz entered the service of the Brunswick family; in 1676 he again visited London, and then moved to Hanover, where, till his death, he occupied the well-paid post of librarian in the ducal library. His pen was thenceforth employed in all the political matters which affected the Hanoverian family, and his services were recognized by honours and distinctions of various kinds, his memoranda on the various political, historical, and theological questions which concerned the dynasty during the forty years from 1673 to 1713 form a valuable contribution to the history of that time. Leibnitz's appointment in the Hanoverian service gave him more time for his favourite pursuits. He used to assert that as the first-fruit of his increased leisure, he invented the differential and integral calculus in 1674, but the earliest traces of the use of it in his extant note-books do not occur till 1675, and it was not till 1677 that we find it developed into a consistent system; it was not published till 1684. Most of his mathematical papers were produced within the ten years from 1682 to 1692, and many of them in a journal, called the

32. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
    Eine Kurzbiographie des deutschen Mathematikers.  
    http://www.leibniz-igb.de/leibniz.htm
    
    Extractions: (Kurzbiographie) Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz wurde am 1. Juli (bzw. am 21. Juni alter Zeitrechnung) 1646 in Leipzig als Sohn eines Juraprofessors und einer Professorentochter geboren. Seine Eltern starben sehr früh, 1652 der Vater, 1664 die Mutter. In der Bibliothek seiner Eltern fand Leibniz genügend Stoff für seinen Wissenshunger, und schon als Achtjähriger brachte er sich ohne fremde Anleitung, nur mit Hilfe von illustrierten Büchern, die lateinische Sprache bei, die er wenige Jahre später, ebenso wie die griechische, hervorragend beherrschte. Mit 15 Jahren besuchte Leibniz die Universität seiner Heimatstadt, veröffentlichte mit 16 seine erste philosophische Schrift, legte mit 17 die erste philosophische Prüfung ab und wurde mit 18 Magister. Neben seinem Studium der Philosophie und Rechtswissenschaft in Leipzig (zwischendurch auch in Jena und in Altdorf bei Nürnberg) beschäftigte sich Leibniz intensiv mit Mathematik, Logik und Physik (z.B. Diskussion mit Otto v. Guericke), aber auch zeitlebens mit der Alchemie. In Leipzig wegen seines geringen Alters (er war kaum 20 Jahre alt) nicht zum Doktorat zugelassen, promovierte Leibniz 1666 in Altdorf zum Doktor beider Rechte, verzichtete aber danach auf eine akademische Karriere, da ihm die Entfaltung und praktische Anwendung seiner Fähigkeiten in den verkrusteten Strukturen einer Universität kaum möglich schienen. In Nürnberg machte Leibniz 1667 die Bekanntschaft mit dem ehemals kurmainzischen Minister Johann Christian Freiherr v. Boineburg, der ihm eine Anstellung als Hofrat, d.h. als diplomatischer Berater bei dem Mainzer Kurfürsten Johann Philipp von Schönborn vermittelte. In ursprünglich politischer Mission 1672 nach Paris gesandt (er sollte versuchen, Ludwig XIV. zum Angriff auf Ägypten zu bewegen, um Frankreichs Machtinteressen von Deutschland abzulenken), nutzte Leibniz seinen vierjährigen Aufenthalt in der europäischen Metropole, in der er mit führenden Gelehrten seiner Zeit zusammentraf, um sich vor allem auf mathematischem Gebiet weiterzubilden. Sein Lehrer und besonderer Förderer war der in Paris lebende holländische Physiker, Astronom und Mathematiker Christiaan Huygens.

    Extractions: Life Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was born in Leipzig, Germany, on July 1, 1646. He was the son of a professor moral philosophy, and after university study in Leipzig and elsewhere, it would have been natural for him to go into academia. Instead, he began a life of professional service to noblemen, primarily the dukes of Hanover (Georg Ludwig became George I of England in 1714, two years before Leibniz's death). His professional duties were various, such as official historian and legal advisor. Above all, he was required to (or allowed to) travel widely, meeting many of the foremost intellectuals in Europe - of particularly formative importance were the astronomer, mathematician and physicist Huygens, and the philosopher Spinoza. Leibniz was one of the great polymaths of the modern world. Moreover, a list of his significant contributions is almost as long as the list of his activities. As an engineer he worked on calculating machines, clocks and even mining machinery. As a librarian he more or less invented the modern idea of cataloguing. As a mathematician he not only produced ground-breaking work in what is now called topology, but came up with the calculus independently of (though a few years later) than Newton, and his notation has become the standard. In logic, he worked on binary systems among numerous other areas. As a physicist he made advances in mechanics, specifically the theory of momentum. He also made contributions to linguistics, history, aesthetics and political theory.

    Biography of gottfried leibniz (16461716) gottfried wilhelm von leibniz. Born 1 July 1646 in Leipzig, Saxony (now Germany)  
    http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Leibniz.html
    
    Extractions: Gottfried Leibniz was the son of Friedrich Leibniz, a professor of moral philosophy at Leipzig. Friedrich Leibniz [3]:- ...was evidently a competent though not original scholar, who devoted his time to his offices and to his family as a pious, Christian father. Leibniz's mother was Catharina Schmuck, the daughter of a lawyer and Friedrich Leibniz's third wife. However, Friedrich Leibniz died when Leibniz was only six years old and he was brought up by his mother. Certainly Leibniz learnt his moral and religious values from her which would play an important role in his life and philosophy. At the age of seven, Leibniz entered the Nicolai School in Leipzig. Although he was taught Latin at school, Leibniz had taught himself far more advanced Latin and some Greek by the age of 12. He seems to have been motivated by wanting to read his father's books. As he progressed through school he was taught Aristotle 's logic and theory of categorising knowledge. Leibniz was clearly not satisfied with

39. The Moment Before Discovery: Werner Künzel
    Synopsis of an address by Werner K¼nzel, in which he discusses Lullus's logic machine, its use and abuse by Athanasius Kircher, and its influence on gottfried wilhelm leibniz.  
    http://www.c3.hu/scca/butterfly/Kunzel/synopsis.html
    
    Extractions: 1. A Strange Invention When, in about 1275, Raymundus Lullus invented his logical machine, the Mediterranean Sea was a kind of interface for three expanded cultural streams. Spain in general, and specifically the island of Mallorca, was at that time, one could say, a melting pot for the three religions which have determined the history of the world until the present. There was an encounter of the Christian religion with the culture of the Muslims, as well as a very important trace of the Jewish tradition. Raymundus Lullus began his work just a short time after the successful "reconquista" of Spain, which would not conclude until 1492. It is therefore necessary to regard his invention as embedded within a special situation, i.e., embedded in a deep crisis of communication. With the "Ars combinatoria" of Raymundus Lullus, a real revolution of formalistic thinking was born, as this was the first known text-machine which was able to produce true (and, needless to say, false) declarations in a strange mechanical manner. At its apex, the discussion focused on Aristotle and his works included all the problems and conflicts of the Catholic Church with the Muslim tradition of the Greek philosopher (the German philosopher Ernst Bloch has written a beautiful essay on the subject, called "Avicenna, or the Aristotelian left wing"). With that dramatic culmination of scholastic reflection on questions of logic, Raymundus Lullus alone set out on a completely new path. He singularly founded the concept of a new method, a new organisation of thinking; one might say, a new hardware and a new software! It may be that there were indeed some traces of Cabbalistic, or even Arabic thinking; we may consider the phrase "ex oriente lux."
