Jacob Bernoulli (Mathematician)

Jacob Bernoulli was a Swiss mathematician from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, known for his contributions to calculus and probability theory. He is famous for the "Bernoulli's principle," which explains how the speed of a fluid relates to its pressure, a key concept in physics. Additionally, he introduced important ideas in the study of sequences and series, notably the Bernoulli numbers, which have applications in number theory and combinatorics. Bernoulli's work laid foundational principles for later developments in mathematics and science, influencing fields such as statistics and engineering.
