[ G.Polya ] Leibnitz, Gottfried Wilhelm (1646-1716), great mathematician and philosopher, planned to write an "Art of Invention" but he never carried through his plan. Numerous fragments dispersed in his works show, however, that he entertained interesting ideas about the subject whose importance he often emphasised. Thus, he wrote: "nothing is more important than to see the sources of invention which are, in my opinion, more interesting than the inventions themselves."
