%X this paper is intended to analyze the leibnizian theory of mathematical proof, in relation to his general view on science. firstly, it provides the main characteristics of leibniz's method, making a strategic contrast with the cartesian one (¡ì¡ì 1-3). secondly, because for leibniz the numerical formulae are not primitive logical truths, they require a rigorous formal proof, so that the corresponding demonstration given in the new essays is examined in order to gain new insights into the so-called leibnizian formalism, taking into account as well frege's and poincar¨¦'s criticisms to it (¡ì¡ì 4-6). finally, it offers an evaluative account of all these considerations (¡ì 7).
