Acta Eruditorum, 1682/ 2. - Leipzig, Grossium & Gleditsch, Februar 1682, 4�, pp.33-56, 1 Kupferstichtafel, feine Broschur. First Edition! This was Leibniz first article published in Acta Eruditorum; He deals with mensuration and describes the Leibniz series 1-1/3+1/5-1/7.=pi/4. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's (1646-1716) Hannover) appointment in the Hanoverian service gave him more time for his favourite pursuits. He used to assert that as the first-fruit of his increased leisure, he invented the differential and integral calculus in 1674, but the earliest traces of the use of it in his extant note-books do not occur till 1675, and it was not till 1677 that we find it developed into a consistent system; it was not published till 1684. Most of his mathematical papers were produced within the ten years from 1682 to 1692, and many of them in a journal, called the Acta Eruditorum, founded by himself and Otto Mencke in 1682, which had a wide circulation on the continent. He was one of the true geniuses of modern history. Although his contributions to the development of differential calculus remain his greatest legacy, his definition of identity and his work in establishing a formal notation for all mathematics provided the foundation for others like Peano nearly two hundred years later.
