Wolfgang von Leibniz

Wolfgang von Leibniz was a notable mathematician and philosopher from the 17th in Germany, known for his work in calculus alongside Isaac Newton, and for his ideas on logic and metaphysics. He contributed to the development of symbolic logic, influenced the philosophy of science, and explored ideas about the nature of reality, knowledge, and language. Leibniz believed that the universe is composed of simple, indivisible units called monads, and he envisioned a pre-established harmony governing their interactions. His work laid important foundations for modern mathematics, philosophy, and computer science.
