The portrait of Leibniz above is from the Convergence Portrait Gallery. “ Supplementum Geometrie Dimensorie…” (1693).“ De geometria recondite et analysi indivisibilium atque infinitorum.” (1686)." Nova Methodus pro Maximis et Minimis…" (1684).We present on the following pages three famous articles on the Calculus, published by Leibniz in Acta Eruditorum in 1684, 1686, and 1693: Leibniz began publishing his calculus results during the 1680s. By autumn 1676 Leibniz discovered the familiar \(d(x^n)=nx^dx\) for both integral and fractional \(n.\) In the same manuscript the product rule for differentiation is given. On 21 November 1675 he wrote a manuscript using the \(\int f(x)\,dx\) notation for the first time. In 1673 he was still struggling to develop a good notation for his calculus and his first calculations were clumsy. ![]() Robertson’s biography in the MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, Leibniz “developed the basic features of his version of the calculus” while living in Paris during the 1670s: Acta Eruditorum, a monthly journal, would become the vehicle for much of the mathematical publication of Leibniz and the Bernoullis and would eventually be the forum through which Leibniz defended his priority in the development of calculus.Īccording to J. The journal was intended for the German-speaking regions of Europe, despite being written almost entirely in Latin. In 1682, Leibniz, together with a fellow German philosopher and scientist, Otto Mencke (1644-1703), founded a scholarly journal, Acta Eruditorum, in Leipzig. He is considered a cofounder, along with Isaac Newton, of the Calculus. Cohen: ‘John Craige’s copy of Newton’s Principia: Newton’s Thoughts on Ship Design’,, possibly to appear in Notes and Records of the Royal Society.Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) was a true polymath recognized for his excellence in many fields, particularly philosophy, theology, mathematics, and logic. ![]() 203–205 and the article cited in note 37 infra. 165 this MS is indexed in one of Gregory’s MSS in the library of the University of Edinburgh (MS C 34).įor a discussion of this copy, see my Introduction to Newton’s ‘Principia’ (cited in note 27 supra), pp. Cohen: ‘Pemberton’s Translation of Newton’s Principia, with Notes on Motte’s Translation’, Isis 54 (1963) Por further details concerning this “advertisement,” and John Machin’s association with Motte’s translation of the Principia, see I. ![]() He does not mention Newton’s sentence about ships.

Newton’s early manuscripts, as well as his published mathematical works, deal at large with geometry, analysis (algebra), number theory, and only in the smallest measure show even a relation to physical problems.
