SITE MAP Daniel Bernoulli 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.

Jacob Bern oulli translated with an introduction and notes by Edith Dudley Sylla The Art of Conjecturing, together with "Letter to a Friend on Sets in Court Tennis" hardcover December 2005 528 pp. 3 line drawings Description Jacob Bernoulli's Ars Conjectandi, published posthumously in Latin in 1713 by the Thurneysen Brothers Press in Basel, is the founding document of mathematical probability. Here, Edith Dudley Sylla offers the first complete English translation of this monumental work. Part I reprints and reworks Huygens's On Reckoning in Games of Chance. Part II offers a thorough treatment of the mathematics of combinations and permutations, including the numbers since known as "Bernoulli numbers." In Part III, Bernoulli solves more complicated problems of games of chance using that mathematics. In the final part, Bernoulli's crowning achievement in mathematical probability is manifest: he applies the mathematics of games of chance to the problems of epistemic probability in civil, moral, and economic matters, proving what we now know as the weak law of large numbers. Sylla provides an extensive introduction and detailed translator's notes. She includes as supplemental texts Bernoulli's "Letter to a Friend on Sets in Court Tennis" and "Thesis 32" of Theses Logicae de conversione et oppositione enunciationum.

Acting/Theatre MUSIC (Guitar): Andres Segovia [1893-1987], from Spain, was the most famous guitarist of all time. He brought the classical guitar from its folk- and dance-related image to the symphonies and concert halls of the most established musical prominence. He developed an approach to plucking the guitar strings with the fingernails of the right hand, which became the dominat school of guitar, displacing the gentler and more lyrical Neapolitan school which used the fingertips. Christopher Parkening is arguably the greatest American performer of Classical Guitar. After a year of intensive Classical Guitar at Brookdale Community College, under Christopher Parkening's master student Barry Eisner, I was able to play a few baroque pieces and original compositions at community college concerts, and then retired to the occasional original song at Woodstock, various parties and resorts, and while hitchiking across America, singing for my supper.

72. Bernoullis' Spiral The spiral we are considering is named after jacob bernoulli. jacob bernoulliwas born on the 27th of December, 1654 in Basel, Switzerland and died there on http://library.thinkquest.org/18222/root/story1/page4/bernoul.htm

The name of Bernoulli is well known not only among mathematicians. Many members of this remarkable Switzerland family became famous. Some of them were members of the Saint-Petersburg's Academy of Science, the city where we live. Two brothers Jacob and Johann brought many new ideas to mathematics and phisics. Their nephew Nicolas, Johann's sons Nicolas and Daniel, Johann's grandsons Jacob and Johann were also well known scientists. The spiral we are considering is named after Jacob Bernoulli. Jacob Bernoulli was born on the 27th of December, 1654 in Basel, Switzerland and died there on the 16th of August, 1705. He graduated with a theology degree from Basel in 1676 and received training in mathematics and astronomy against the wishes of his parents. Among the curves that Jacob Bernoulli worked on were the Cycloid, the Epicycloid, the Equiangular spiral, the Hypocycloid and the Lemniscate which is now named after him. It's interesting that Bernoulli's Lemniscate is used now in places when a tram makes a turn of a small radius. There is a Crater Bernoulli on the moon (which is named after this mathematician and Johann Bernoulli).

Home Topics Pierre-Simon Laplace three-body problem , i.e. the problem of studying the orbits of three mutually attracting bodies (e.g. the Sun, Earth and Moon) and the stability of their motion. D'Alambert, Euler, Lagrange and Laplace were among those who worked on the three-body problem. It turns out that it is not possible to find an explicit, general solution of this problem. Except in some special cases, only approximate solutions, requiring extensive calculations, can be computed. Despite some notable exceptions and the further development of computational mathematics, such realization, however, did not result in significant innovations in computational devices until the nineteenth century. I will focus this lecture on the new territories that applied mathematicians, and scholars in general, began exploring in this period. My purpose is to show that, once we attempt to provide formal descriptions of areas outside the physical sciences, our models become very complex, and any formal study of such models requires powerful computational tools. Although these tools were not systematically developed until the twentieth century, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries illustrate where the need for such tools originates.

Easy Email The mail facility was created to allow researchers in Continuous Algorithms and Complexity (CAC) and in Foundations of Computational Mathematics (FoCM) an easy method of communicating with one another. The main advantage of the CAC-NET/FoCM-NET is uniformity of addressing. All mail is addressed to the Internet host cs.columbia.edu at Columbia University. Hence, members of the CAC-NET/FoCM-NET do not need to remember complicated addresses or even where a member is currently located. As long as moving members change their e-mail address in the CAC-NET/FoCM-NET everything works smoothly. Examples: For example, to mail to Art Werschulz, you would send mail to cac.werschulz@cs.columbia.edu or to focm.werschulz@cs.columbia.edu Mail sent to a nonexistent CAC-NET/FoCM-NET name (e.g., cac.abcde@cs.columbia.edu ) will result in the following message being returned to you. - CAC-NET/FoCM-NET key not found.

Dear Jasper, Here is some fun for the Centenary of 2005. I've known for some time that I had a direct link back to Arnold Sommerfeld through my Ph.D. advisor, Sebastian Doniach , whose Ph.D. advisor, Herbert Froehlich was a doctoral student of Sommerfeld put sample table here, or at the end] Recently a collaborator told me about Erdös numbers http://www-users.med.cornell.edu/~jdvicto/erdos.html ]which link mathematical scientists to Paul Erdös , a very prolific collaborator. My Erdös number is 6, where Erdös himself is assigned zero. It seems that there is also an Einstein number. Pedro Goldman ( UWO ) was advised by Nathan Rosen, who wrote that famous Einstein-Rosen- Podolsky paper with Albert. Thus Pedro has an Einstein number of 2. Clearly YOU can be a 3 by writing a paper with Pedro! Back in March 1999 APS News ran a contest on "Discovering Our Roots: The PhD Lineage Contest Winners", [ http://www.aps.org/apsnews/0399/039916.cfm So my suggestion for a new Canadian contest to celebrate the "World Year of Physics 2005: Einstein in the 21st Century" is to launch a competition amongst Canadian physicists (those with a professional position in physics) to see who can trace their genealogy back farthest, etc.

Jacob Bernoulli Matemático suizo, hermano de Johann Bernoulli, trabajó como profesor de matemáticas en la Universidad de Basilea en el año 1687. Jacob fue el primero en usar el término integral en el año 1690. Utilizó tempranamente las coordenadas polares y descubrió el isócrono, la curva que se forma al caer verticalmente un cuerpo con velocidad uniforme. En una disputa matemática con su hermano Johann, inventó el cálculo de las variaciones. Trabajó en la Teoría de la Probabilidad y la distribución de Bernoulli, la ecuación diferencial de Bernoulli, los números de Bernoulli fueron nominados por Jacob; quien también publicó muchos artículos de series finitas. Al morir, su puesto en Basilea fue ocupado por su hermano Johann.

Kluge Köpfe Einige schweizerische oder in der Schweiz lebende Wissenschaftler haben merklich zum Fortschritt in der Weltraumforschung und Raumfahrt oder ihren wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen beigetragen. Ein paar von ihnen sind im folgenden beschrieben. Die Familie Bernoulli Die Familie des Gewürzhändlers Nikolaus Bernoulli (1623-1708), deren belgische Vorfahren als Calvinisten nach dem Einmarsch des Herzogs von Alba aus den Niederlanden nach Basel geflohen war, hat eine ganze Reihe von Mathematikern hervorgebracht. Die drei bekanntesten sind seine Söhne Jakob und Johann Bernoulli und Johanns Sohn, Daniel. Jakob Bernoulli Jakob Bernoulli (1654-1705) Jakob Bernoulli wurde am 27.12.1654 in Basel geboren. Er studierte in Basel Theologie, machte 1671 den Magisterabschluss und erhielt 1676 die theologische Lizenz, bildete sich aber gleichzeitig gegen den Willen seines Vaters autodidaktisch in Mathematik aus. Nach Privatvorlesungen über Experimentalphysik in Basel ab 1683 und Publikationen wie etwa zur Kompressibilität der Luft und zum Schwingungsmittelpunkt wurde Bernoulli 1687 auf den Basler Lehrstuhl für Mathematik berufen, den er bis zu seinem Tod innehatte. Sein Nachfolger war bis 1748 sein Bruder Johann, danach bis 1790 dessen Sohn Daniel. Jakob Bernoulli hat mit seinem Bruder Johann zusammen Pionierleistungen für die Entwicklung und Verarbeitung der von Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz erfundenen Infinitesimalrechnung erbracht. Der anfänglich harmonische Wettstreit der Brüder wuchs sich später zu erbitterter Rivalität aus. Ab 1690 erschienen Jakob Bernoullis differentialgeometrischen Arbeiten, und1691 benutzte er als erster im Druck das in Basel geprägte und durch Leibniz übernommene Wort "Integral". In der Auseinandersetzung mit seinem Bruder Johann um das Brachystochronenproblem legte er ab 1692 den Grund zur Variationsrechnung. Mit seinen Untersuchungen zur Form eines belasteten Balkens begründete Bernoulli die systematische Elastizitätstheorie und legte den Grund für die Lösung zahlreicher technologischer Probleme der Neuzeit.
