Logic Is The Foundation Of The Certainty

In The Meantime, Most Noble Sir, You Have Assigned This Question To The Geometry Of Position, But I Am Ignorant As To What This New Discipline Involves, And As To Which Types Of Problem Leibniz And Wolff Expected To See Expressed In This Way.

Transcendental [numbers], They Transcend The Power Of Algebraic Methods.

Notable Enough, However, Are The Controversies Over The Series 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ... Whose Sum Was Given By Leibniz As 1/2, Although Others Disagree. ... Understanding Of This Question Is To Be Sought In The Word "sum"; This Idea, If Thus Conceived - Namely, The Sum Of A Series Is Said To Be That Quantity To Which It Is Brought Closer As More Terms Of The Series Are Taken - Has Relevance Only For Convergent Series, And We Should In General Give Up The Idea Of Sum For Divergent Series.

For The Sake Of Brevity, We Will Always Represent This Number 2.718281828459... By The Letter E.

For Since The Fabric Of The Universe Is Most Perfect And The Work Of A Most Wise Creator, Nothing At All Takes Place In The Universe In Which Some Rule Of Maximum Or Minimum Does Not Appear.
