The Bernoulli family was probably the most notable mathematical family in world history. There were ten notable intellectuals over three generations. The three most significant were Jacob, Daniel, and Johann. Also of importance were Johann's brother Nicolaus I, Nicolaus I's son Nicolaus II, Johann's sons Nicolaus III and Johann II, and his grandsons Johann III, Jacob II, and Daniel II. However, Johann made the biggest name for himself, so we will focus on his life, and methods that resulted in his contributions to modern mathematics. Below is a list of his personal information.

James Bernoulli
Jacob or James Bernoulli He was one of the earliest to realize how powerful as an instrument of analysis was the infinitesimal calculus, and he applied it to several problems, but did not himself invent any new processes. His great influence was uniformly and successfully exerted in favour of the use of the differential calculus, and his lessons on it, which were written in the form of two essays in 1691 and are published in the second volume of his works, shew how completely he had even then grasped the principles of the new analysis. These lectures, which contain the earliest use of the term integral, were the first published attempt to construct an integral calculus; for Leibnitz had treated each problem by itself, and had not laid down any general rules on the subject. The most important discoveries of James Bernoulli were his solution of the problem to find an isochronous curve; his proof that the construction for the catenary which had been given by Leibnitz was correct, and his extension of this to strings of variable density and under a central force; his determination of the form taken by an elastic rod fixed at one end and acted on by a given force at the other, the elastica ; also of a flexible rectangular sheet with two sides fixed horizontally and filled with a heavy liquid, the

Nicolaus(I) Bernoulli
Born: 21 Oct 1687 in Basel, Switzerland
Died: 29 Nov 1759 in Basel, Switzerland
Nicolaus(I) Bernoulli was a nephew of Jacob Bernoulli and Johann Bernoulli . His early education involved studying mathematics with his uncles. In fact it was Jacob Bernoulli who supervised Nicolaus's Master's degree at the University of Basel which he was awarded in 1704. Five years later he was received a doctorate for a dissertation which studied the application of probability theory to certain legal questions. In 1712 Nicolaus(I) Bernoulli toured Europe visiting Holland, England and France. It was in France that he met Montmort and the two mathematicians became close friends and collaborated on mathematical questions in a long correspondence. Nicolaus(I) Bernoulli was appointed to Galileo 's chair at Padua in 1716 which Hermann had filled immediately prior to Nicolaus's appointment. There he worked on geometry and differential equations . In 1722 he left Italy and returned to his home town to take up the chair of logic at the University of Basel. After nine years, remaining at the University of Basel, he was appointed to he chair of law. In addition to these academic appointments, he did four periods as rector of the university. J O Fleckenstein, writing in [1], describes Nicolaus(I) Bernoulli's contribution to mathematics:-

http://homepages.compuserve.de/thweidenfeller/mathematiker/hopital.html
Guillaume De l'Hôpital (1661, Paris - 1704, Paris) Guillaume De l'Hôpital wrote the first textbook on calculus in 1696 which was much influenced by the lectures of his teacher Johann Bernoulli, Jacob Bernoulli and Leibniz. L'Hôpital served as a cavalry officer but resigned because of nearsightedness. From that time on he directed his attention to mathematics. L'Hôpital was taught calculus by Johann Bernoulli in 1691. L'Hôpital was a very competent mathematician and solved the brachystochrone problem. The fact that this problem was solved independently by Newton , Leibniz and Jacob Bernoulli puts l'Hôpital in very good company. L'Hôpital's fame is based on his book Analyse des infiniment petits pour l'intelligence des lignes courbes (1692) which was the first text-book to be written on the differential calculus. In the introduction L'Hôpital acknowledges his indebtedness to Leibniz, Jacob Bernoulli and Johann Bernoulli but L'Hôpital regarded the foundations provided by him as his own ideas. In this book is found the rule, now known as L'Hôpital's rule, for finding the limit of a rational function whose numerator and denominator tend to zero at a point.

Tales of Statisticians
Jacob Bernoulli
6 Jan 1655 - 16 Aug 1705
Jacob's most important work was the Ars Conjectandi, which like the paper of Thomas Bayes was published only after his death (in 1713). With de Moivre's work of 1718, it is the first major treatise in the field of probability and statistics. Bernoulli's legacy, like his life, has an oppositional character. The Ars Conjectandi defines a "frequentist" or objective position as against the "expectation" or subjective position which has developed from the work of Bayes. Opposition between these two viewpoints still to some extent divides statistics into two hostile camps. One subgroup of the International Association for Statistics is called the Bernoulli Society. Bernoulli developed the binomial approach of Pascal , in which the binomial coefficients of the Arithmetical Triangle have a central place. A coin toss or other trial which can have only one of two outcomes is sometimes called a Bernoulli trial. We have avoided this and similar terms of respect, in the interest of maximum accessibility for beginning readers (for whom these Lessons are intended), but we gladly acknowledge Bernoulli's contribution on this page.

(Alphabetically) Next Welcome page Jacob(II) Bernoulli was one of the sons of Johann(II) Bernoulli . Following the family tradition he took a degree in law but his interests were in mathematics and mathematical physics. In 1782 Jacob(II) Bernoulli's uncle Daniel Bernoulli died and his chair of physics in Basel became vacant. Jacob(II) applied for the chair and presented a work on mathematical physics to support his application. The decison as to who should fill the vacant chair was not made on academic grounds but was made by drawing lots. Jacob(II) Bernoulli was unlucky and he was not offered this position he would really have liked. He was then appointed as secretary to the Imperial Envoy to Turin and Venice. However, he was soon given the chance of another academic post when he received an offer from St Petersburg. He went to St Petersburg and began to write important works on mathematical physics which he presented to the St Petersburg Academy. These treatises were on elasticity, hydrostatics and ballistics. Despite the rather harsh climate, the city of St Petersburg had great attractions for Jacob(II) Bernoulli since his uncle

Two Bernoulli Brothers
Nicolaus Bernoulli was a merchant in Basel, Switzerland. His family were refugees fleeing from the massacre done by the Catholics in the Netherlands. The family settled in Basel only after fleeing to Frankfurt from persecution by the Spanish rulers. Nicolaus wanted his children to study religion and medicine. Fortunately, three of his sons chose a different path in life and studied mathematics. This is the story of two of the brother's lives, Jacob and Johann, and their rivalry.
Jacob Bernoulli was born December 27th, 1654 In 1671 Jacob graduated from the University of Basel with a master's degree in philosophy and in 1676 with a licentiate in theology. Jacob studied philosophy and theology to oblige with his parents' wishes. While working on these degrees, Jacob also studied mathematics and astronomy against his parents wishes. Jacob was the first of the numerous Bernoullis to study mathematics.
After graduation, Jacob began work as a tutor in Geneva. He traveled to France, studying with the followers of Descartes for two years. Beginning in 1681, Jacob continued his travels to the Netherlands and then to England where he continued his studies with leading mathematicians and scientists.
Jacob returned to the University of Basel to teach mechanics in 1683 He turned down an appointment in the Church at this time. One year later Jacob married Judith Stupanus. Together they had a son and a daughter; neither became mathematicians.
