There's a long history of mechanical multipliers, going back to Leibniz and ending with the IBM 602A.

Probably a reference to Leibniz having discovered/invented the binary number system back in the 1679 [1].

You gonna cite Newtown and / or Leibniz when you differentiate a function?

He questions causal relationships and posits something no better than leibniz's monads.

Likewise Leibniz was the first computer scientist.

We have such a thing as databases, devices that can manipulate graphics and high-complexity economic models that are analyzed through linear algebra because Newton and Leibniz found the mathematical tools we need in order to model (continuous) change.

It wasn't, but it could have been.”[1] Still a bit too late for Leibniz by that argument, but within the ballpark.

I thought that article was going to be about Leibniz, and his "let us calculate" approach to decision making.

These so-called "Continental Rationalists" included philosophers like Descartes and Leibniz.

"Philosophy is the discipline in which you kick up a lot of dust and then complain you can't see" - attributed to Leibniz.

One is Martin Lof identity types, which follow naturally from Leibniz' principle that A and B are equal then they are indistinguishable.

Disclaimer; I've only read Anselm and Leibniz, and am just trying to piece together the discrepant sources around.

I looked up the history of complex numbers and probability theory and both predate Leibniz.
