Abstract

[This paper is a tribute to the tercentenary of Leibniz’s (1646–1716) death. After Aristotle (384–322 BC), one of the most impressive and original accomplishments of building rational knowledge about nature can be found in Leibniz’s dynamics. Furthermore, his science of motion occupies a prominent place in his thought. In addition to these theoretical developments, Leibniz designed a calculating machine which performed the four arithmetic operations and worked as a mining engineer in Harz (Germany), with the design and construction of windmills. In this paper Leibniz’s contributions to machine science, namely dynamics and machine design, are presented and discussed.]
