Jakob Bernoulli

Jakob Bernoulli was a Swiss mathematician from the 17th and 18th centuries who made significant contributions to calculus, probability, and mathematical analysis. He is best known for his work on the Law of Large Numbers, which explains how, with enough data, the average of results will tend to approach the expected value. Bernoulli's insights helped formalize the field of probability theory, influencing statistics and decision-making processes. His work laid foundational principles that are still essential in modern mathematics and science, shaping how we understand randomness and variability in numerous applications.
