    Extractions: Michael Engel Der Philosoph, Mathematiker und Naturforscher wurde 1646 in Leipzig geboren und verstarb 1716 in Hannover. Leibniz habe viele Leben gelebt - als Diplomat, Historiker, Philosoph und auch Mathematiker. Griechisch und Latein erlernte der junge Leibniz autodidaktisch und das humanistische Studium befriedigte ihn nicht mehr - und so wandte er sich der Logik zu. Aus den Versuchen die klassische Logik zu reformieren entwickelten sich die ersten Ansätze zu seiner ' Characteristica Universalis' . Mit dieser Idee war Leibniz seiner Zeit in Bezug auf Logik und Mathematik um zwei Jahrhunderte voraus und stand damals mit diesem Traum allein. Russell und Whitehead griffen erst 1910 mit Ihrer 'Principia Mathematica' die Entwicklung der symbolischen Logik wieder auf. Leibniz verband in sich die beiden gegensätzlichen Gebiete der Mathematik, das kontinuierliche und diskrete. Er schuf für die Mathematik die Infinitesimalrechnung und die Kombinatorik.

27. Island Of Freedom - Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
    General biography of this early German thinker, drawn from various sources.  
    http://www.island-of-freedom.com/LEIBNIZ.HTM
    
    Extractions: Leibniz was a first-class mathematician and scientist. His contribution in mathematics was to discover, in 1675, the fundamental principles of infinitesimal calculus. This discovery was arrived at independently of the discoveries of the English scientist Sir Isaac Newton, whose system of calculus was invented in 1666. Leibniz's system was published in 1684, Newton's in 1687, and the method of notation devised by Leibniz was universally adopted. In 1672 he also invented a calculating machine capable of multiplying, dividing, and extracting square roots. Leibniz was also an excellent philosopher whose metaphysical system is peculiarly interesting in that it can be interpreted as a system of logical doctrines. His positions were drawn from science, logic, and metaphysics, and he believed that his "new principle, pre-established harmony," was proved in all these disciplines, as well as in religious and moral theory. Leibniz was dissatisfied with the "new philosophy" since Descartes and with the concepts of absolute space, time and matter of Newtonian mechanics. He showed that Descartes' formulation of the laws of motion was scientifically unsound, and that his view of motion as miraculously imparted to essentially inert matter was metaphysically unsatisfactory. He described "atoms of matter" as contrary to reason, since the "smallest particle of matter," as atoms are described, is logically absurd. If it is extended, then it is further divisible; if not then it is not a particle of matter. The laws of motion he thought demanded that the elements involved should be bearers of energy. The only possible element must be a "simple substance, without parts." In his

    Extractions: Leibniz' career as a scholar embraced the physical sciences, law, history, diplomacy, and logic, and he held diplomatic posts (from 1666) under various German princes. Leibniz also invented the Calculus shortly before Netwon but his work was published after. His philosophical writings, including Theodicy (1710) and Monadology (1714), popularized by the philosopher Christian von Wolff, were orthodox and optimistic, claiming that a divine plan made this the best of all possible worlds. According to Leibniz, the basic constituents of the universe are simple substances he called monads, infinite in number, nonmaterial, and hierarchically arranged. His major work, New Essays on Human Understanding, a treatise on John Locke's Essay concerning Human Understanding, was written in 1704 but because of Locke's death published only in 1765. A critique of Locke's theory that the mind is a blank at birth, it exerted great influence on Kant and the German enlightenment. Modern studies have tended to focus on Leibniz's contributions to mathematics and logic; manuscripts published in the 20th cent. show him to be the founder of symbolic logic. See Also:

32. The Monadology

    Extractions: 2. And there must be simple substances, since there are compounds; for a compound is nothing but a collection or aggregatum of simple things. 3. Now where there are no parts, there can be neither extension nor form [figure] nor divisibility. These Monads are the real atoms of nature and, in a word, the elements of things. 4. No dissolution of these elements need be feared, and there is no conceivable way in which a simple substance can be destroyed by natural means. (Theod. 89.) 5. For the same reason there is no conceivable way in which a simple substance can come into being by natural means, since it cannot be formed by the combination of parts [composition]. 6. Thus it may be said that a Monad can only come into being or come to an end all at once; that is to say, it can come into being only by creation and come to an end only by annihilation, while that which is compound comes into being or comes to an end by parts. 8. Yet the Monads must have some qualities, otherwise they would not even be existing things. And if simple substances did not differ in quality, there would be absolutely no means of perceiving any change in things. For what is in the compound can come only from the simple elements it contains, and the Monads, if they had no qualities, would be indistinguishable from one another, since they do not differ in quantity. Consequently, space being a plenum, each part of space would always receive, in any motion, exactly the equivalent of what it already had, and no one state of things would be discernible from another.

    Extractions: Gottfried von Leibniz's Step Reckoner In the 1670s, a German Baron called Gottfried von Leibniz (sometimes von Leibnitz) took mechanical calculation a step beyond his predecessors. Leibniz, who entered university at fifteen years of age and received his bachelor's degree at seventeen, once said: " It is unworthy of excellent men to lose hours like slaves in the labor of calculation, which could be safely relegated to anyone else if machines were used ." Courtesy of IBM Leibniz developed Pascal's ideas and, in 1671, introduced the Step Reckoner , a device which, as well as performing additions and subtractions, could multiply, divide, and evaluate square roots by series of stepped additions. a Leibniz also strongly advocated the use of the binary number system, which is fundamental to the operation of modern computers. Pascal's and Leibniz's devices were the forebears of today's desk-top computers, and derivations of these machines continued to be produced until their electronic equivalents finally became readily available and affordable in the early 1970s. a See also: Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical calculator John Napier and Napier's Bones Wilhelm Schickard's mechanical calculator Blaise Pascal's Arithmetic Machine ...

    Extractions: Gottfried Leibniz's father died when Leibniz was only 6, and he was brought up by his mother, from whom he learned his moral and religious values. In school, he taught himself advanced Latin and Greek, and read Aristotle and many metaphysics and theology books. At the age of 14, he entered the University of Leipzig to study philosophy and mathematics. A few days after Leibniz was awarded his Master's Degree in philosophy, his mother died. After being awarded a bachelor's degree in law, Leibniz worked on his habilitation in philosophy. In this work, published in 1666, Leibniz aimed to reduce all reasoning and discovery to a combination of basic elements such as numbers, letters, sounds and colours. Despite his growing reputation and acknowledged scholarship, Leibniz was refused the doctorate in law at Leipzig. He went immediately to the University of Altdorf where he received a doctorate in law in 1667. During the next few years Leibniz undertook a variety of different projects, scientific, literary and political. He also continued his law career taking up residence at the courts of Mainz before 1670. One of Leibniz's lifelong aims was to collate all human knowledge. As part of this scheme, Leibniz tried to bring the work of the learned societies together to coordinate research. Leibniz put much energy into promoting scientific societies. Later in life, he was involved in moves to set up academies in Berlin, Dresden, Vienna, and St. Petersburg.

    http://www.idsia.ch/~juergen/leibniz.html
    
    Extractions: Inventor of Binary Arithmetics and Calculus Leibniz' final years were overshadowed by a priority fight with the powerful president of the Royal Society, Isaac Newton, who said he had invented calculus before Leibniz, without publishing it, and who made friends sign texts he wrote to support this claim. Today's historians give credit not only to Leibniz and Newton but also to the much earlier Indian Kerala School, in particular, Madhava of Sangamagrama. All of them extended the pioneering work on infinitesimals and special cases of calculus by Archimedes Leibniz, sometimes called the last universal genius, invented at least two things that are essential for the modern world: calculus, and binary arithmetics based on bits. Modern physics, math, engineering would be unthinkable without the former: the fundamental method of dealing with infinitesimal numbers. Leibniz developed it around 1673. In 1679, he perfected the notation for integration and differentiation that everyone is still using today. Binary arithmetics based on the dual system he invented around 1679, and published in 1701. This became the basis of virtually all modern computers.

    Extractions: Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz was born in what is now Germany on July 1, 1646. Leibniz had many interests, including philosophy, theology, and writing poetry in Latin. His mathematical interests were also varied: they included binary arithmetic and symbolic logic, as well as calculus Leibniz was very interested in finding good notation . (It's hard to write clearly about mathematics if you're using confusing symbols!) In fact, though Newton invented calculus first, almost all of the notation that we use for calculus today is Leibniz's. Leibniz also chose many of the terms that we use for graphing. He was the first person to use the word " coordinates ," and he used the term "axes of coordinates." Leibniz also invented the terms "function" and "variable." Leibniz was a much more friendly person than Newton. Instead of keeping his ideas to himself until he was sure they were perfect, Leibniz wrote letters to hundreds of other scholars, all across Europe. Leibniz's openness may be one of the reasons we use his notation and vocabulary today. Please send questions, comments, and suggestions
