I stared for a long time at your third sentence before I remembered that Leibniz is the correct name of the German mathematician you are referring to, and Leipzig is a German city (where, coincidentally, he was born).

Haha Autocorrect I think. I indeed meant to write Leibniz. Pretty embarrassing considering my high school was named after him.
