10/29/1675 - Liebniz sums it all up

Gottfried Leibniz was a many of many talents. The number of fields he was interested in was quite vast. While you might thank Newton for the calculus, it turns out Leibniz worked with Newton for a while. In fact, it is Leibniz's notation, with the integral sign and the differential, which we use today. Wired has a nice summary of Leibniz up today.
