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)

B. studierte in Basel Theologie (1671 Magister Artium, 1676 lic. theol.), wobei er sich gleichzeitig gegen den Willen des Vaters autodidaktisch in Mathematik ausbildete. Bei Hauslehrertätigkeiten in Genf und Frankreich (1676-80) und auf einer Bildungsreise 1681-82 nach Holland, England und Deutschland wurde B. mit der cartesian. Naturwissenschaften und mit der zeitgenöss. Mathematik bekannt. Nach Privatvorlesungen über Experimentalphysik in Basel (ab 1683) und nach Publikationen etwa zur Kompressibilität der Luft und zum Schwingungsmittelpunkt wurde B. 1687 auf den Basler Lehrstuhl für Mathematik berufen, den er bis zu seinem Tod innehatte; seine Nachfolger waren bis 1748 sein Bruder Johann ( -> No 9 ) und bis 1790 dessen gleichnamiger Sohn ( -> No 10 ). Ab 1689 erschienen in Basel fünf Dissertationen über unendl. Reihen, die B. v.a. zur Quadratur und Rektifikation von Kurven benutzte, wobei er die sog. Bernoullische Ungleichung verwendete und erstmals die vollständige Induktion systematisch zu einem allg. Beweisverfahren ausbaute. Die selbstständige Meisterung der von Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz erfundenen Infinitesimalrechnung ab 1684 war eine Pionierleistung B.s und seines Bruders Johann, die zu zahlreichen neuen Entdeckungen führte (1691 Theorema aureum -> No 13 ) und v.a. der Basler Jacob Hermann. Zu seinen Briefpartnern gehörten sein Bruder Johann, v.a. aber Leibniz und Nicolas Fatio de Duillier.

    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.

    Jacob Bernouli (1654 - 1705)
    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.

Nesta parte Bernoulli aponta para que não é possível haver acontecimentos reais absolutamente certos e introduz a ideia de "certeza moral", considerando que para um acontecimento ser moralmente certo, a sua probabilidade não deverá ser inferior a 0,99. Foi para determinar a certeza moral de um acontecimento que Bernoulli formula e demonstra o seu teorema mais conhecido - a Lei dos Grandes Números. A lei pode enunciar-se do seguinte modo:

    People Who Studied the Cycloid Johann Bernoulli Jacob Bernoulli Huygens Torricelli ... L'Hospital1 Johann Bernoulli While he held the chair in Groningen, Johann Bernoulli competed with his brother in what was becoming an interesting mathematical tussle but an unfortunately bitter personal battle. Johann proposed the problem of the brachristochrone in June 1696 and challenged others to solve it. Leibniz persuaded him to give a longer time so that foreign mathematicians would also have a chance to solve the problem. Five solutions were obtained, Jacob Bernoulli and Leibniz both solving the problem in addition to Johann Bernoulli. The solution of the cycloid had not been found by Galileo who had earlier given an incorrect solution. Not to be outdone by his brother Jacob then proposed the isoperimetric problem, minimising the area enclosed by a curve. Johann's solution to this problem was less satisfactory than that of Jacob but, when Johann returned to the problem in 1718 having read a work by Taylor, he produced an elegant solution which was to form a foundation for the calculus of variations. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Bernoulli_Johann.htm
