About the cover: the Newton-Leibniz controversy (Q2797791)

The paper outlines a short overview of the famous controversy between Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Isaac Newton on the invention of differential calculus and emphasizes the role of the notation introduced by Leibniz, that made the Leibnitian calculus stimulating and easy to use. In order to underline the importance of the notation, the authors quote an extract of the English translation of Newton's \textit{Principia} (edited by J. Colson in 1736): it is a problem concerning a fowler who wants to shoot two birds at once and it is solved obviously using the Newtonian language of fluxions and fluents. The original picture illustrating the problem, published in this paper, is the `cover' of the Bulletin mentioned in the title. The last part of the paper mentions Leibniz's bibliography and publishes the engraving of his calculating machine.
