Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was a German philosopher, mathematician and scholar. He developed the differential and integral calculus independently of Isaac Newton, designed a calculating machine and worked on binary arithmetic. His philosophy of monads argued that this is the best of all possible worlds. From 1676 he served the dukes of Hanover as librarian, historian and adviser, and he helped found the Berlin Academy of Sciences in 1700.
