Quote: Leibniz also developed the binary system, whose notation of zeroes and ones is the basis of modern computer languages. His book, Explication de l’Arithmétique Binaire, credited the ancient Chinese divination manual, the I Ching, with inspiring the binary system of zeroes and ones, since the I Ching’s hexagrams use a very similar notation to record numbers. In an age of European ethnocentrism, Leibniz still recognized China’s long-standing mathematical advancement.
