    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz

    Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (or Leibnitz; [a] 1 July 1646 [O.S. 21 June] – 14 November 1716) was a German polymath active as a mathematician, philosopher, scientist and diplomat who is credited, alongside Sir Isaac Newton, with the creation of calculus in addition to many other branches of mathematics, such as binary arithmetic, and statistics.

  3. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    Arithmetic values thought to have been represented by parts of the Eye of Horus. The scribes of ancient Egypt used two different systems for their fractions, Egyptian fractions (not related to the binary number system) and Horus-Eye fractions (so called because many historians of mathematics believe that the symbols used for this system could be arranged to form the eye of Horus, although this ...

  4. Binary code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    The modern binary number system, the basis for binary code, is an invention by Gottfried Leibniz in 1689 and appears in his article Explication de l'Arithmétique Binaire (English: Explanation of the Binary Arithmetic) which uses only the characters 1 and 0, and some remarks on its usefulness. Leibniz's system uses 0 and 1, like the modern ...

  6. Lingua generalis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_generalis

    Lingua generalis was an essay written by Gottfried Leibniz in February, 1678 in which he presented a philosophical language he created, which he named lingua generalis or lingua universalis. [ 1 ] Leibniz aimed for his lingua universalis to be adopted as a universal language and be used for calculations. [ 1 ]

  7. General Leibniz rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Leibniz_rule

    The Leibniz rule bears a strong resemblance to the binomial theorem, and in fact the binomial theorem can be proven directly from the Leibniz rule by taking () = and () =, which gives ( a + b ) n e ( a + b ) x = e ( a + b ) x ∑ k = 0 n ( n k ) a n − k b k , {\displaystyle (a+b)^{n}e^{(a+b)x}=e^{(a+b)x}\sum _{k=0}^{n}{\binom {n}{k}}a^{n-k}b ...

  8. Leibniz algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_algebra

    Conversely any Lie algebra is obviously a Leibniz algebra. In this sense, Leibniz algebras can be seen as a non-commutative generalization of Lie algebras. The investigation of which theorems and properties of Lie algebras are still valid for Leibniz algebras is a recurrent theme in the literature. [1]

  9. Nova Methodus pro Maximis et Minimis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Methodus_pro_Maximis...

    Although calculus was independently co-invented by Isaac Newton, most of the notation in modern calculus is from Leibniz. [3] Leibniz's careful attention to his notation makes some believe that "his contribution to calculus was much more influential than Newton's."
