Resum

In the period between 1676 and 1680 Leibniz tried to win a position with salary in the Académie des Sciences, vacant after Roberval’s death in 1675. During these years Leibniz offered several methods, recipes and inventions to Christian Huygens that could be useful for the Académie des Sciences: between them we find his analysis situs, discusions on Becher’s method to find gold, the recipe of the phosphorus, the inverse method of tangents, his arithmetical quadrature and his own intellectual network. All of these discussions were brought up by Leibniz as an attempt to win the position at the Académie, something that has not been fully taken into consideration by the scientific literature.
