Bernoulli, Daniel (1700-1782), Dutch-born Swiss scientist, who discovered the basic principles of fluid behaviour. He was the son of Johann Bernoulli and the nephew of Jakob Bernoulli, both of whom made major contributions to the early development of calculus.
Bernoulli was born in Groningen, the Netherlands, on January 29, 1700, and took an early interest in mathematics. Although he earned a medical degree in 1721, he became a Professor of Mathematics at the Russian Academy in St Petersburg in 1725. He later taught experimental philosophy, anatomy, and botany at the universities of Groningen and Basle, Switzerland.
Bernoulli pioneered in Europe the acceptance of the new physics of the English scientist Isaac Newton. He studied the flow of fluids and formulated the principle that the pressure exerted by a fluid is inversely proportional to its rate of flow (see Bernoulli's Principle). He used atomistic concepts in trying to develop the first kinetic theory of gases, accounting for their behaviour under conditions of changing pressure and temperature in probabilistic terms. This work, however, did not gain wide notice at the time. Bernoulli died in Basle on March 17, 1782.

Los Bernoulli
Fecha de primera versión: 15-11-97
Fecha de última actualización: Los hijos de los genios, de cualquier ciencia o arte, no suelen ser genios. Está claro que el genio no se hereda. Los Bernoulli son la excepción: Tres generaciones de matemáticos tiene esta familia. La saga comienza con Jacob I y Johann I. En la segunda generación, tres hijos de Johann I, Daniel I Johann II y Nicolás II y un sobrino, Nicolas I. En la tercera generación, tres hijos de Nicolas II, Johann III, Daniel II y Jacob II. Todos fueron matemáticos destacables, especialmente Jacob I y Johann I. Los Bernoulli eran originarios de los Paises Bajos pero huyeron a Suiza por la persecución que los españoles (concretamente el Duque de Alba, en el reinado de Felipe II) hicieron a los que no eran católicos. Los padres de los Bernoulli eran personas influyentes. El padre tenía una tienda de especias y la madre era de una familia de banqueros.

Daniel Bernoulli
Daniel Bernoulli February 9 March 17 ) was a Swiss mathematician . He worked with Leonhard Euler on the equations bearing their names. Bernoulli's principle is of critical use in aerodynamics . It is applicable to steady, inviscid, incompressible flow, along a streamline The son of Johann Bernoulli , nephew of Jakob Bernoulli , Daniel Bernoulli was by far the ablest of the younger Bernoullis. He is said to have had a bad relationship with his father. Upon both of them entering and tying for first place in a scientific contest at the University of Paris, Johann, unable to bear the "shame" of being compared to his offspring, banned Daniel from his house. Johann Bernoulli also tried to steal Daniel's book Hydrodynamica and rename it Hydraulica . Despite Daniel's attempts at reconciliation, his father carried the grudge until his death. Daniel Bernoulli taught at the University of Basel for 26 years until his death. He was a contemporary and intimate friend of Euler. He went to St. Petersburg

Daniel Bernoulli and the St. Petersburg Paradox The Bernoulli family is famous for a number of distinguished mathematicians. Daniel is a son of Johann (Jean) I, who was a younger brother of Jakob (Jacques), the author of Ars Conjectandi . Despite Johann's objections Daniel became a mathematician himself, and Daniel spent several years in St. Petersburg, as a professor of mathematics. This period seems to be most fruitful for Daniel, partly because of his collaboration with Leonhard Euler. Daniel produced significant results in hydrodynamics, probability, and became a precursor of the kinetic theory of gases. However, Daniel did not like the climate of Russia and went back to Basel (Switzerland) and taught there. But, since he shared with his father Johann the Grand Prix of Paris Academy for 1734, the father became angry, and their relationships were seriously damaged. According to the formula of mathematical expectation, the expected value of this game is Daniel thought that the value of any amout of money is determined relative to one's whole wealth, and its contribution to the value of the whole is inversely proportional to the whole.

Artikel auf Englisch: Daniel Bernoulli
Daniel Bernoulli 9. Februar in Groningen 17. M¤rz in Basel ) war ein schweizer Mathematiker
Er arbeitete mit Leonhard Euler an den Gleichungen, die ihre Namen tragen. Das Bernoulli-Prinzip ist von ¼berragender Bedeutung in der Aerodynamik
Leben
Er war Sohn von Johann Bernoulli , Neffe von Jakob Bernoulli und der bei weitem begabteste der j¼ngeren Bernoullis. Offenbar hatte er eine schlechte Beziehung zu seinem Vater gehabt. Als beide an einem wissenschaftlichen Wettbewerb an der Universit¤t von Paris teilnahmen und sich den ersten Platz teilten, verstieŸ Johann Daniel aus seinem Haus, da er nicht die "Schande" ertragen konnte, mit seinem Abk¶mmling verglichen zu werden. Johann Bernoulli versuchte auch, Daniels Buch Hydrodynamica zu stehlen und es in Hydraulica umzubenennen. Trotz Daniels Vers¶hnungsversuchen hegte der Vater seinen Groll bis zu seinem Tod.

    Bernoulli's principle Bernoulli's principle, physical principle formulated by Daniel Bernoulli that states that as the speed of a moving fluid (liquid or gas) increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. The phenomenon described by Bernoulli's principle has many practical applications; it is employed in the carburetor and the atomizer, in which air is the moving fluid, and in the aspirator, in which water is the moving fluid. In the first two devices air moving through a tube passes through a constriction, which causes an increase in speed and a corresponding reduction in pressure. As a result, liquid is forced up into the air stream (through a narrow tube that leads from the body of the liquid to the constriction) by the greater atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid. In the aspirator air is drawn into a stream of water as the water flows through a constriction. Bernoulli's principle can be explained in terms of the law of conservation of energy (see conservation laws , in physics). As a fluid moves from a wider pipe into a narrower pipe or a constriction, a corresponding volume must move a greater distance forward in the narrower pipe and thus have a greater speed. At the same time, the work done by corresponding volumes in the wider and narrower pipes will be expressed by the product of the pressure and the volume. Since the speed is greater in the narrower pipe, the kinetic energy of that volume is greater. Then, by the law of conservation of energy, this increase in kinetic energy must be balanced by a decrease in the pressure-volume product, or, since the volumes are equal, by a decrease in pressure.

Qualcosa di fluido… - Cercavano una spiegazione alle origini del cosmo… i Greci avanzarono l’ipotesi di una sostanza iniziale, che, per le proprie capacità di trasformazione, sarebbe stata l’origine di tutti gli esseri. Secondo Talete da Mileto, questa sostanza sarebbe stata l’acqua, Anaximene scelse invece l’aria, che per compressione o rarefazione avrebbe dato origine a tutto. Aristotele, divise il mondo fisico in due parti: il mondo sottolunare, formato dai 4 elementi, aria, acqua, terra e fuoco, caratterizzati da movimenti in linea retta ma incostanti, e il mondo sopralunare, formato da una "quinta essenza", l’etere, che si presenta con movimenti regolari, circolari e continui. - I fluidi La concezione aristotelica fu ritenuta valida fino al Rinascimento, quando personaggi come Torricelli, Pascal e Bernoulli (Daniel Bernoulli 1700-1782) , rivoluzionarono la conoscenza dei fluidi.

Johann Bernouli (1667 - 1748)
Daniel Bernoulli (1700 - 1787) The Bernoulli family may sound like a Mafia family from a television show, but they were the most predominant math family of Europe. Their fame was in the late 17th and early 18th century in Bale, Switzerland. The uniqueness of this particular family is a stubborn streak which brought devastation to the family life. The Bernoulli family was originally from Holland with strong Calvinism religion. They needed to avoid Spanish religious persecution, so they fled to Switzerland. Nicholas Bernoulli brought the family to Switzerland. This family was not math oriented, they had a spice business in Bale. He had three sons which two of them became the most influential math experts in the academic community yet hostile to each other. The eldest son, Jacob (James or Jacques), was born 1654 and died 1705 in Bale, Switzerland. His parents compelled him to study philosophy and theology. Like a Bernoulli, he resented the studies but he did acquire a masters in philosophy. He was intrigued with mathematics and astronomy so much he included them with his studies, regardless his parents wishes. He made more of a career in mathematics than philosophy. He became the first Bernoulli to be recognized as a strong influential mathematician. He contributed highly to probability: if something is going to happen again and again is large amounts, it is likely it will happen most of the time. He may be a brilliant mathematician, but he did have a mean streak.

The Mathematics of the Bernoulli Family (Swiss)
The Bernoullis are a family of mathematicians. The most famous of them all are the brothers Jacob and Johann, whose father is Nicolaus (1623-1708). Among the wide range of Mathematics pertaining to the Bernoullis are Bernoulli Numbers, Bernoulli Differential Equation, Bernoulli's Principle of Fluid Dynamics, Bernoulli Trial, Bernoulli Inequality, etc. Jacob (1654-1705) is the first of the Bernoullis to make Mathematics a career, despite pressure to seek a career elsewhere. He contributed greatly to Calculus, Infinite Series and Probability. In particular, he published the Law of Large Numbers in 1689. This Law states that if an experiment of an event is carried out a large number of times, then the relative frequency of the event occurring equals the corresponding probability.
He also solved what is now called Bernoulli Differential Equation: y' = p(x)y + q(x)y n Among his other works are:
  • A general method to determine evolutes of a curve as the envelope of its circles of curvature.    
  • Caustic curves of parabola, logarithmic spiral and epicycloids (1692-93)

    Daniel Bernoulli and the making of the fluid equation
    by D.A. Quinney
    Daniel Bernoulli 1700-1782
    Source: The Turner Collection, Keele University. Daniel Bernoulli was born on January 29th 1700. He came from a long line of mathematicians. His father Johann was head of mathematics at Groningen University in the Netherlands. The family was prone to bitter rivalry: something he was to suffer when he became estranged from his father some 30 years later. At the age of five, the Bernoulli family returned home to Basel in Switzerland, so that Johann's wife could be with her ailing father. Some years earlier Johann had applied to become professor of mathematics at Basel University, but this was denied him because his elder brother, Jakob had deliberately schemed to prevent him getting the post. Later Jakob got the professorship. En route to Basel, Johann learned that Jakob had just died of tuberculosis. He later recalled rather shamelessly that " ... I could succeed to my brother's position." He set about lobbying for the vacant position and in less than two months he got his way.
