JOHANN ELIAS HAID. Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, German philosopher and mathematician, 1781. Artist: Johann Elias Haid

JOHANN ELIAS HAID. Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, German philosopher and mathematician, 1781. Leibniz (1646-1716) published his system of infinitesimal calculus in 1684, three years before Newton who, however, claimed priority as inventor because his publication related to earlier work. The controversy was never settled. After a portrait of 1714 by JG Auerbach.
