Leibniz was born in Leipzig, Germany on 1646. His father is a professor of law and moral philosophy at Leipzig University. His father died when he was six years old. Therefore, as a teenager, Leibniz had almost no one to guide him on his way to school. All the little boy has is a pile of books left by his father. A clever and precocious child, he taught himself Latin at the age of 8, and began to learn Greek at the age of 12. This enabled him to use the rich library left by his father without any difficulty. Immersed in the sea of books, he gained extensive knowledge of classical works. He has the ability to read almost all books, and reading has become his lifelong interest, which has made him read a lot of bad books. Later, Leibniz wrote: I began to seriously think about various problems when I was very young. Before 15 years old, I often walked alone in the forest to compare and contrast the theories of Aristotle and Democritus. Leibniz/Kloc-entered Leipzig University at the age of 0/5. He chose religion, philosophy, elementary arithmetic and Euclid geometry, but he didn't invest in geometry. He tried to teach himself Descartes' analytic geometry, but it seemed a little difficult for him. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, he published a philosophical thesis and obtained a bachelor's degree. That summer, he went to the University of Jena to take a math class, then returned to Leipzig University to study logic, philosophy and law, and got a master's degree the following year. At the age of 20, he wrote an excellent paper on combinatorics, but because he was too young, the University of Leipzig refused to grant him a doctorate. So he transferred to the University of Altdorf in Nuremberg, and received his doctorate at 1667 (2 1 year). After finishing college, he entered the political circle and served Mainz. From 1672 to 1676, he was sent to Paris, France on diplomatic mission. In Paris, he met Huygens (1629 ~ 1695), which aroused his enthusiasm for mathematics and created calculus, making his four years in Paris a golden age of creation, even better than Newton's 1664 ~ 65438+. Leibniz wrote to a friend in 1680, recalling the inspiration he got when he met Huygens in Paris in 1673. He said that at that time, I hardly had much time to study geometry. Huygens gave me a book about simple pendulum that he just published. At that time, I knew nothing about Descartes' analytic geometry and the infinitesimal argument of finding an area, and I didn't even know the definition of the center of gravity. In fact, in a discussion with Huygens, I mistakenly thought that any straight line passing through the center of gravity would divide the area equally, because this is obviously correct for squares, circles, ellipses and other figures. Huygens began to laugh when he heard my words. He told me that nothing can surpass the truth. Inspired by this, I am very excited. Without reading through Euclid geometry, you began to learn advanced geometry. Huygens thinks I'm a good geometer, even better than I thought. He gave me Pascal's works to study. From this, I learned infinitesimal argument, inseparability and the method of finding the center of gravity. Pascal's works opened a new world to Leibniz, which made him suddenly realize some truth and gradually developed his calculus theory. Leibniz returned to Germany on 1676 and worked as a consultant and librarian in Hanover for forty years. Although he is a lawyer and diplomat by profession, he is versatile, has a keen interest in all aspects of learning and is famous as a philosopher. Thanks to his vigorous advocacy, the Berlin Academy of Sciences was established on 1700.

Leibniz played an important role in European politics and diplomacy in his time. He occupies an equally important position in the history of philosophy and mathematics. He invented calculus independently of Newton.

Since then, his symbols have been widely used. He also invented the binary system.

It involves more than 40 fields such as law, mechanics, optics and linguistics, and is known as Aristotle in the seventeenth century. And Newton invented calculus successively. Some people think that Leibniz's greatest contribution is not the invention of calculus, but the mathematical symbols used in calculus, because Newton's symbols are generally considered to be worse than Leibniz's symbols. Leibniz is a rare generalist in history. His majors include mathematics, history, language, biology, geology, machinery, physics, law, diplomacy and other fields. As a lawyer, he often travels to and from big cities, and many of his formulas are completed in bumpy carriages. Life 1 July 6461Leibniz was born in Leipzig, Germany. His grandfather worked in Saxony for three generations. His father is Friedrich Leibniz and his mother is catherina Schmuck. When he grew up, the spelling of Leibniz's name was changed to "Leibniz", but most people used to write "Leibniz". In his later years, his signature was usually written as "von Leibniz". After his death, his works were made public, and the author's name was usually "Freiher [Baron] G.W. von Leibniz." . But no one is sure whether he has noble tricks.
