Extractions: 10.3. Bernoulli, Johan (1667-1748) IRA Johann Bernoulli was one of the pioneers in the field of calculus and helped apply the new tool to real problems. His life was one of the most controversial of any mathematician. He was a member of the world's most successful mathematical family, the Bernoullis. Johann (also known as Johannes, Jean or John, depending on the translation) Bernoulli was born in Basel, Switzerland, on August 6, 1667. His family had originally been from Antwerp, Belgium, but had fled to avoid persecution by Catholics. After first settling down in Frankfurt, Johann's grandfather moved to Basel in 1622. Johann was the tenth son of a successful merchant and local official. Originally, Johann's father had attempted to make a merchant out of his child but the son failed miserably as an apprentice. In 1683, he was given permission to enter the University of Basel, where his older brother Jacob, who was also a great mathematician, was already a professor. While pursuing a degree in medicine, Johann was tutored in mathematics by his older brother and soon developed a mastery of the new Leibnizian calculus. In 1694, he had committed himself to this new field and received his doctorate on a mathematical paper on muscular movement. Unable to get the seat of mathematics at University of Basel because his brother held it, Johann accepted a position at the University of Groningen. In 1705, he returned to Basel after his brother's death to take Jacob's old position at the university. During his life he was awarded many honors including membership at the Academies of Science at Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg and many others. He died in Basel on January 1, 1748.

Extractions: Bernoulli, Johann (16671748) Johann Bernoulli was born in Switzerland and attended the University of Basel. His doctoral dissertation was in mathematics despite its medical title, which was used to hide his mathematical work from his father who wanted Johann to become a doctor. Bernoulli privately studied mathematics with his gifted brother Jakob , who served in the mathematics chair at the University of Basel. From that time on, both brothers were engrossed in infinitesimal mathematics and were the first to achieve a full understanding of Leibnizs presentation of differential calculus. The Bernoulli brothers sometimes worked on the same problems, which was unfortunate in view of their jealous and touchy dispositions. In 1691 Bernoulli was in Paris where he presented and defended the new Leibniz calculus. During this period he also met LHosptial , then Frances most famous mathematician. LHospital engaged Bernoulli to instruct him in the new calculus. Johann was appointed professor of mathematics at the University of Groningen in Holland in 1695. LHospital had Bernoulli continue this instruction by correspondence after Bernoulli left for Holland and later moved back to Basel.

http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Bernoulli_Johann.html

Extractions: Johann Bernoulli was the tenth child of Nicolaus and Margaretha Bernoulli. He was the brother of Jacob Bernoulli but Johann was twelve years younger than his brother Jacob which meant that Jacob was already a young man while Johann was still a child. The two brothers were to have an important influence on each others mathematical development and it was particularly true that in his early years Johann must have been greatly influenced by seeing Jacob head towards a mathematical career despite the objections of his parents. As to his education as a child, Johann wrote in his autobiography that his parents:- ... spared no trouble or expense to give me a proper education in both morals and religion. This religion was the Calvinist faith which had forced his grandparents to flee from Antwerp to avoid religious persecution. Nicolaus and Margaretha Bernoulli tried to set Johann on the road to a business career but, despite his father's strong pushing, Johann seemed to be totally unsuited to a future in business. Johann's father had intended him to take over the family spice business and in 1682, when he was 15 years old, Johann worked in the spice trade for a year but, not liking the work, he did not do well. It was with great reluctance that Johann's father agreed in 1683 to Johann entering the University of Basel. The subject that Johann Bernoulli was to study at university was medicine, a topic that many members of the Bernoulli family ended up studying despite their liking for mathematics and mathematical physics.

http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Bernoulli_Johann(III).ht

Extractions: Johann(III) Bernoulli was a son of Johann(II) Bernoulli . He was certainly considered a prodigy when a child with an encyclopedic knowledge and, like many other members of his extraordinarily talented family, he studied law and took an interest in mathematics. At the early age of fourteen he graduated with the degree of master of law. He was appointed to a chair at Berlin Academy at the age of only 19. Frederick II asked him to revive the astronomical observatory of the Academy but this was not a task for which Johann(III) was particularly well suited. His health had never been particularly good and his qualities as an astronomical observer were relatively poor. Johann(III) Bernoulli wrote a number of works on astronomy, reporting on astronomical observations and calculations, but these are of little importance. Strangely his most important contributions were the accounts of his travels in Germany which were to have a historical impact. In the field of mathematics he worked on probability , recurring decimals and the theory of equations. As in his astronomical work there was little of lasting importance. He did, however, publish the

In a paper of sums, he remarks how useless Bullialdus's voluminous work Opus novum ad arithmeticum infinitorum (1682) was, which "did nothing more that compute with immense labor the sums of the first six powers, which is only a part of what we have accomplished in the space of a single page" (Smith 1994, p. 90). Ars conjectandi was also the first substantial treatise on probability It contained the general theory of permutation and combination the weak law of large numbers as well as the binomial theorem (for which the first adequate proof for positive integers was given) and multinomial theorem He solved the Bernoulli differential equation
