The Bernoullis: When Math is the Family Business

The video explores the significant contributions of the Bernoulli family to mathematics and science. It highlights the achievements of Jacob, Johann, and Daniel Bernoulli, who were instrumental in developing key concepts in probability, calculus, and fluid dynamics. Jacob is noted for his work on the law of large numbers and the Bernoulli distribution, as well as discovering the constant e. Johann is recognized for solving the brachistochrone problem and contributing to calculus, while Daniel is known for Bernoulli's principle in fluid dynamics and collaborating with Euler on beam theory. The Bernoullis' work laid foundational principles still used in modern science and engineering.
