莱布尼茨是德国伟大的数学家、逻辑学家、哲学家、历史学家和语言学家,被称为德国以及欧洲历史上最后一个百科全书式的天才。他在数学上最杰出的成就,就是独立创建了微积分,和牛顿并列为微积分的发明者而名垂青史。耐人寻味的是,300多年前,这样的一个大数学家在研究下面的一个看似很普通的算式时,竟然陷入到困惑不解和左右为难的地步。这个算式就是无穷多个1相加、相减的 Leibniz, Germany’s great mathematician, logician, philosopher, historian and linguist, is known as the last encyclopedic genius in Germany and in European history. His most outstanding achievement in mathematics was the creation of calculus independently, and Newton’s name as the inventor of calculus. What is intriguing is that more than 300 years ago, such a great mathematician turned himself into puzzling and dilemmas while studying the seemingly ordinary formula below. This formula is an infinite number of 1 add, subtract
