Born #onthisday 377 years ago, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was one of the most important logicians, mathematicians and natural philosophers of the Enlightenment.
Leibniz developed the ideas of differential and integral calculus (independently of Isaac Newton's contemporaneous development) and we use his notation and terminology to this day. Leibniz also designed and built mechanical calculators and made many important contributions to physics, philosophy, biology and medicine.

It might be because so many #viral #videos on #socialmedia have that track playing in the background or at the end of the #video.
Have you ever had a music track stuck playing in your mind? Well, I have, today it happens to be 'his name is John Cena'. #Music
