THE SCIENTIFIC LEGACY |
Modern science is predominantly based on the discoveries in the fields of
mathematics and the natural sciences in the 17th and 18th centuries. Eight
members of the Bernoulli family as well as the Bernoulli disciple Jacob
Hermann made significant contributions to this development in the areas of
mathematics, physics, engineering and medicine. Some of their most
influential achievements may be listed as follows:  "Which Bernoulli do you wish to see 'Hydrodynamics' Bernoulli, 'Calculus' Bernoulli, 'Geodesic' Bernoulli, 'Large Numbers' Bernoulli or 'Probability' Bernoulli? Or do you prefer to see 'Elasticity', 'Theory of oscillations' or 'Theory of errors' Bernoulli? " |
