The inventor of the calculus of binary type used in computers was Leibniz (Leipzig 1646-1716 Hanover), in fact the mathematician-philosopher drew in 1679 a medal that says on the top and bottom edges "One has created everything from nothing, One is necessary" and in the center on the binary number system necessary for the operation of his newly developed calculator. From this type of design can also be derived roughly the thought almost mystical of the philosopher expressed in the "Monadology" of 1714 which relates to previous studies on calculus "A new method for the maxima and the minima" of 1684 in addition to the concept of pre-established harmony that guides everything like a smart gear. Leibniz with his calculator able to do four basic operations would raise humanity from the difficulties of manual calculation, but died alone (among bitter controversy with other crafty scientists), abandoned by all.
