摘要

1682年，莱布尼茨发表了一篇文章，其中包含了他对经典的圆平方问题的解决方案：现在以他的名字命名的交替收敛级数。然而，他传播正交结果的尝试始于七年前，包括四种不同的方法：传统的（期刊文章）、宏大的（论文）、冒名顶替的（伪科学）和奢侈的（奖牌）。本文考察了莱布尼茨传播其系列公式的各种尝试。通过研究经常被忽视的著作和未发表的手稿，本文回答了一个问题，即最伟大的数学家之一是如何向世界介绍他的第一个伟大的几何发现的。

How Leibniz tried to tell the world he had squared the circle

In 1682, Leibniz published an essay containing his solution to the classic problem of squaring the circle: the alternating converging series that now bears his name. Yet his attempts to disseminate his quadrature results began seven years earlier and included four distinct approaches: the conventional (journal article), the grand (treatise), the impostrous (pseudepigraphia), and the extravagant (medals). This paper examines Leibniz's various attempts to disseminate his series formula. By examining oft-ignored writings, as well as unpublished manuscripts, this paper answers the question of how one of the greatest mathematicians sought to introduce his first great geometrical discovery to the world.

期刊介绍： Historia Mathematica publishes historical scholarship on mathematics and its development in all cultures and time periods. In particular, the journal encourages informed studies on mathematicians and their work in historical context, on the histories of institutions and organizations supportive of the mathematical endeavor, on historiographical topics in the history of mathematics, and on the interrelations between mathematical ideas, science, and the broader culture.
