Daniel Bernoulli
Daniel Bernoulli, a Dutch-born Swiss scientist, discovered basic principles of fluid behavior. He was the son of Johann Bernoulli and the nephew of Jakob Bernoulli, both of whom made major contributions to the early development of calculus. Bernoulli took an early interest in mathematics. Although he earned a medical degree in 1721, he became a professor of mathematics at the Russian Academy in Saint Petersburg in 1725. He later taught experimental philosophy, anatomy, and botany at the universities of Groningen and Basel in Switzerland. Daniel pioneered in Europe, accepting the then-new physics of Isaac Newton. He studied the flow of fluids and formulated the principle (Bernoulli's Principle) that the pressure exerted by a fluid is inversely proportinal to its rate of flow. He also used atomistic concepts in trying to develop the first kinetic theory of gases, accounting for their behavior under conditions of changing pressure and temperature in probabilistic terms. This work, however, did not gain wide notice at the time.

Daniel was the most notable of the Bernoulli clan in the second generation. His father, Johann(I) tried to force Daniel into becoming a merchant, just as Johann's father had done to him. Daniel was one of three sons to Johann, and his brothers were Nicolaus(II) and Johann(II). Daniel began taking lessons in mathematics at the age of eleven from his older brother Nicolaus, who was only five years older than him. At a later age, Daniel became a physician, thinking he preferred medicine to being a merchant. However this too changed when he became involved in mathematics. Daniel and Leohnard Euler were close friends and at times became friendly rivals. Just like Euler, Daniel had the honour of having won the prize of the French Academy at least ten times (and on occasion the prize was shared between other successful competitors.) Daniel is most remembered for his work on Hydrodynamics, which he developed uniformly from the single principle that later became known as the Conservation of Energy. People who work in any field associated with pure or applied fluid motion should be familiar with the name Daniel Bernoulli. In 1725 (at the age of 25), Daniel became professor of mathematics in St. Petersburg. It is in this time that he and his cousin Nicolaus(II) presented the problem which came to be known as the Petersburg paradox. Several solutions were put forward to answer the problem including one by Daniel.

Daniel Bernoulli 1700-1782 Daniel Bernoulli Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782) was born on January 29th 1700. He came from a long line of mathematicians. His father Johann was head of mathematics at Groningen University in the Netherlands. The family was prone to bitter rivalry: something he was to suffer when he became estranged from his father some 30 years later. At the age of five, the Bernoulli family returned home to Basel in Switzerland, so that Johann's wife could be with her ailing father. Some years earlier Johann had applied to become professor of mathematics at Basel University, but this was denied him because his elder brother, Jakob, had deliberately schemed to prevent him getting the post. Later Jakob got the professorship. En route to Basel, Johann learned that Jakob had just died of tuberculosis. He later recalled rather shamelessly that " ... I could succeed to my brother's position." He set about lobbying for the vacant position and in less than two months he got his way. Bernoulli: Merchant, Doctor, Mathematician

His fascination with mathematics is most likely related to his father and uncle both being prominent mathematicians. In 1725 Bernoulli gave way to this interest and became a professor of mathematics at the Russian Academy in St. Petersburg. Bernoulli is considered to be one of the earliest proponents of Newtonian mechanics, and he utilized these concepts in formulating his theories on the flow of fluids.
He spent the remainder of his life teaching, first at the university of Groningen and later at Basel, Switzerland where he died on March 17, 1782.

He is said to have had a bad relationship with his father. Upon both of them entering and trying for first place in a scientific contest at the University of Paris , Johann, unable to bear the "shame" of being compared to his offspring, banned Daniel from his house. Johann Bernoulli also tried to steal Daniel's book ''Hydrodynamica'' and rename it ''Hydraulica''. Despite Daniel's attempts at reconciliation, his father carried the grudge until his death.
He was a contemporary and intimate friend of Euler. He went to St. Petersburg in as professor of mathematics , but did not like it there, and a temporary illness in gave him an excuse for leaving. He returned to the

    1700, Groningen - 1782, Basel Daniel Bernoulli was the son of Johann Bernoulli . He was born in Groningen while his father held the chair of mathematics there. His older brother was Nicolaus(II) Bernoulli and his uncle was Jacob Bernoulli so he was born into a family of leading mathematicians but also into a family where there was unfortunate rivalry, jealousy and bitterness. When Daniel was five years old the family returned to their native city of Basel where Daniel's father filled the chair of mathematics left vacant on the death of his uncle Jacob Bernoulli. When Daniel was five years old his younger brother Johann(II) Bernoulli was born. All three sons would go on to study mathematics but this was not the course that Johann Bernoulli planed for Daniel. Johann Bernoulli's father had tried to force Johann into a business career and he had resisted strongly. Rather strangely Johann Bernoulli now tried exactly the same with his own son Daniel. First however Daniel was sent to Basel University at the age of 13 to study philosophy and logic. He obtained his baccalaureate examinations in 1715 and went on to obtain his master's degree in 1716. Daniel, like his father, really wanted to study mathematics and during the time he studied philosophy at Basel, he was learning the methods of the calculus from his father and his older brother Nicolaus(II) Bernoulli. Johann was determined that Daniel should become a merchant and he tried to place him in an apprenticeship. However Daniel was as strongly opposed to this as his own father had been and soon Johann relented but certainly not as far as to let Daniel study mathematics. Johann declared that there was no money in mathematics and so he sent Daniel back to Basel University to study medicine. This Daniel did spending time studying medicine at Heidelberg in 1718 and Strasbourg in 1719. He returned to Basel in 1720 to complete his doctorate in medicine.

    Bernoulli, Daniel
    Swiss mathematical physicist who made important contributions to trigonometry and differential equations (differentiation). In hydrodynamics he proposed Bernoulli's principle, an early formulation of the idea of conservation of energy.
    Bernoulli was born in Groningen in the Netherlands, the son of mathematician Johann Bernoulli . Having studied philosophy, logic, and medicine in Basel, Switzerland, he became professor of mathematics at the St Petersburg Academy, Russia, 1725-32, and professor of anatomy and botany at the University of Basel from 1733. During his career he won ten prizes from the French Academy, for papers on subjects which included marine technology, oceanology, astronomy, and magnetism.
    Bernoulli's Hydrodynamica 1738 is both a theoretical and practical study of equilibrium, pressure, and velocity in fluids. Bernoulli's principle states that the pressure of a moving fluid decreases the faster it flows (which explains the origin of lift on the aerofoil of an aircraft's wing). Hydrodynamica also contains the first attempt at a thorough mathematical explanation of the behaviour of gases by assuming they are composed of tiny particles, producing an equation of state that enabled Bernoulli to relate atmospheric pressure to altitude, for example. This was the first step towards the kinetic theory of gases achieved a century later.
