* 摘自維基百科:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_numeral_system
The modern binary number system was fully documented by Gottfried Leibniz in the 17th century in his article Explication de l'Arithmétique Binaire. Leibniz's system uses 0 and 1, like the modern binary numeral system. As a Sinophile, Leibniz was aware of the I Ching and noted with fascination how its hexagrams correspond to the binary numbers from 0 to 111111, and concluded that this mapping was evidence of major Chinese accomplishments in the sort of philosophical mathematics he admired.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz ...... was a German philosopher and mathematician who wrote primarily in Latin and French.
......He also invented the binary system, foundation of virtually all modern computer architectures.......
Leibniz was perhaps the first major European intellect to take a close interest in Chinese civilization, which he knew by corresponding with, and reading other work by, European Christian missionaries posted in China. He concluded that Europeans could learn much from the Confucian ethical tradition. He mulled over the possibility that the Chinese characters were an unwitting form of his universal characteristic. He noted with fascination how the I Ching hexagrams correspond to the binary numbers from 0 to 111111, and concluded that this mapping was evidence of major Chinese accomplishments in the sort of philosophical mathematics he admired.

During the Autumn semester of 2003 Jerry Lodder developed two projects for an introductory course in discrete mathematics which trace the development of binary arithmetic from the Enlightenment to the electronic age. The first project (pdf file) (ps file) begins with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's (1646--1716) work on binary numeration, offering excerpts form his 1703 publication ``Explication de l'arithmétique binaire, qui se sert des seuls caractères 0 et 1, avec des remarques sur son utilité, et sur ce qu'elle donne des anciennes figures Chinoises de Fohy,'' (An Explanation of Binary Arithmetic Using only the Characters 0 and 1, with Remarks about its Utility and the Meaning it Gives to the Ancient Chinese Figures of Fuxi) [Ge, p. 223--227] [Le]. For Leibniz, binary numbers represented a confluence of several ideas, including order, harmony, a candidate for his universal language (lingua generalis), an analogy of creation with 0 denoting nothing and 1 denoting God, and an interpretation of the ancient Chinese text of divination the Yijing (I-Ching or Book of Changes) in terms of binary numeration [Sw]. Leibniz also cites an ease of calculation with base 2 numbers, particularly for multiplication and division, which do not require the memorization of a multiplication table or methods of trial and error, as is often the case for long division in base 10.
The project continues with a brief account of the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) developed at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering during the years 1943--1945......
