Seems like it should and the result should be one. Does mathematics agree with me on that?

Ha!

I didn’t honestly know Leibniz’ full name and was on mobile and didn’t want to make the effort to go google it and copy it.

But, now that I’m on a full-sized qwerty keyboard, his full name is “Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz”.

  Let’s add “the famous mathematician and philosopher” at least ;)
