title = "Two Leibnizian manuscripts of 1690 concerning differential equations",
abstract = "Leibniz was very interested in developing techniques for the solution of differential equations. In 1690 he elaborated two manuscripts in which he employed the technique of separating variables. Thus he had to evaluate the logarithm of negative numbers. The present article consists mainly of a critical edition, English translation, and a commentary on these two interesting manuscripts.",

note = "Funding Information: I would like to thank many people and institutions for their support and encouragement as 1 undertook the project of preparing this edition. Eberhard Knobloch of the Technische Universitat Berlin offered invaluable assistance at every stage, for which 1 am especially grateful. Herbert Breger of the Leibniz Archives in Hannover made many useful suggestions about how to interpret almost illegible passages. Robert Carrubba and Glen Helman of the Pennsylvania State University offered. respectively, thoughtful advice on translating Leibniz{\textquoteright} Latin and evaluating the differential equations. The initial stages of this research were supported by a stipend from the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst and the friendly cooperation of the staff of the Leibniz Archives in Hannover, particularly the Director, Albert Heinekamp. The final stages were completed on a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, at the National Humanities Center. Finally, this edition would never have seen the light of day without the heroic efforts of the typist, Bonnie Schaedel.",
