Daniel Bernoulli

Swiss mathematician and physicist (1700–1782)

Daniel BernoulliFRS (bur-NOO-lee; Swiss Standard German:[ˈdaːni̯eːlbɛrˈnʊli];^[1] 8 February [O.S. 29 January] 1700 – 27 March 1782^[2]) was a Swissmathematician and physicist^[2] and was one of the many prominent mathematicians in the Bernoulli family from Basel. He is particularly remembered for his applications of mathematics to mechanics, especially fluid mechanics, and for his pioneering work in probability and statistics.^[3] His name is commemorated in the Bernoulli's principle, a particular example of the conservation of energy, which describes the mathematics of the mechanism underlying the operation of two important technologies of the 20th century: the carburetor and the aeroplane wing.^[4]^[5]

Early life

Daniel Bernoulli was born in Groningen, in the Netherlands, into a family of distinguished mathematicians.^[6] The Bernoulli family came originally from Antwerp, at that time in the Spanish Netherlan

Daniel Bernoulli, 1700-1782.

Dutch-Swiss mathematician, first articulator of the expected utility hypothesis.

Born to a family of mathematicians - his father was Johan Bernoulli, his uncle Jakob Bernoulli and his younger brother Johan II. Preciously gifted, Daniel's mathematical skill led to an unhealthy rivalry with his father, with the lamentable consequence of a personal break between the two. Bernoulli was a close friend of Leonhard Euler.

In 1724, Bernoulli moved to St. Petersburg, Russia to teach mathematics at the new university, but left in 1734. He went on to teach at the university of Basel, Switzerland, for much of the remainder of his life.

Bernoulli's principal work in mathematics was his treatise on fluid mechanics, Hydrodynamica. In economics, Bernoulli is best known for his 1738 article resolving the St. Petersburg paradox, a probability problem set by his cousin Nicholas Bernoulli in 1713, involving the solution to a game of chance with an infinite expected return. Daniel's proposed solut

Summary

Daniel Bernoulli was a Dutch-born member of the Swiss mathematical family. His most important work considered the basic properties of fluid flow, pressure, density and velocity, and gave the Bernoulli principle.

Biography

Daniel Bernoulli was the son of Johann Bernoulli. He was born in Groningen while his father held the chair of mathematics there. His older brother was Nicolaus (II) Bernoulli and his uncle was Jacob Bernoulli so he was born into a family of leading mathematicians but also into a family where there was unfortunate rivalry, jealousy and bitterness.

When Daniel was five years old the family returned to their native city of Basel where Daniel's father filled the chair of mathematics left vacant on the death of his uncle Jacob Bernoulli. When Daniel was five years old his younger brother Johann (II) Bernoulli was born. All three sons would go on to study mathematics but this was not th
