Title: | Leibniz, a Sorb | Journal: | Mathematical Intelligencer | Volume: | 39 | Issue: | 3 | First page: | 53 | Last page: | 55 | Issue Date: | 1-Sep-2017 | Rank: | M23 | ISSN: | 0343-6993 | DOI: | 10.1007/s00283-017-9723-0 | Abstract: | Is calculus a British or a German discovery? Do we owe it to Isaac Newton (1642–1726/27) or too Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716)? This was a major controversy to historians of mathematics. Still, it turns out that Leibniz considered himself a Slav and so calculus is even more universal than generally admitted. |
