Happy Birthday, Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz!

In honor of his special day, do some calculus, science, philosophy, law, theology, philology... heck, do anything! After all, Leibniz could.

Or, just go out and purchase some Leibniz Butterkeks from your local retailer of fine foods, and check out a former blog of mine, The Leibniz Projekt, in which a colleague and I attempted to photograph every member of the the Princeton History of Science department eating said cookies.

  1. As a result of this post, I revisted the estimable Leibniz project. Never before has history of science been so mouth-watering!

    Oh, for the sweet taste of Choco-Leibniz once more...

  2. I passed out Choco-Leibniz at my chemistry review session in honor of today's significance, but I doubt anyone knew the illustrious peerage they were joining by partaking of the flaky, buttery, chocolaty, treat.
