About Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) was a German polymath and philosopher, best known for his contributions to mathematics, metaphysics, and logic. He co-invented calculus independently of Isaac Newton and developed the binary number system, which laid the groundwork for modern computing. Leibniz's philosophical ideas emphasized the concepts of monads and pre-established harmony, and he sought to reconcile faith and reason in the pursuit of truth.
