Bernoulli Family
The Bernoulli family was a notable Swiss family of mathematicians and physicists, particularly influential from the 17th to 18th centuries. Key figures include Jacob Bernoulli, who contributed to probability theory, and his cousin Daniel Bernoulli, known for his work in fluid dynamics and the Bernoulli principle, which explains how the speed of a fluid affects its pressure. Their combined contributions laid foundational principles in mathematics, physics, and engineering, impacting various fields, such as statistics and aerodynamics. The Bernoulli family’s legacy continues to influence modern science and mathematics today.
