Daniel Bernoulli is not a very famous scientist compared to Einstein and Newton. Nevertheless, his contributions to the scientific world did not go unnoticed during his time. Bernoulli was a Swiss physicist, doctor and mathematician. He is most famous for his theorem which explains atmospheric pressure and the force which explains the takeoff of planes. Bernoulli was born into a family of Swiss mathematicians on February 8, 1700 in Groningen, Dutch Republic. Bernoulli's father, brother and uncle were all mathematicians. Bernoulli's father wanted his son to pursue a career in business, but Daniel was fascinated by mathematics. Daniel was a very intelligent child, and at age 13 his father sent him to the University of Basel to study logic and philosophy. A year later, Bernoulli received his master's degree and, following his father's wishes, he left to study medicine on the condition that his father would teach him mathematics. Bernoulli studied medicine in Hindenburg and Strasbourg and also visited Venice. Bernoulli returned to Basel to complete and receive his doctorate in medicine. Bernoulli worked in St. Petersburg as a mathematics teacher but found himself unhappy. Illness struck Bernoulli which allowed him to leave Saint Petersburg and return to Basel as director of the chairs of medicine, metaphysics and natural philosophy until his death on March 17, 1782 from natural causes. Daniel Bernoulli arrived at his theorem through the study of mathematics, kinetic energy, pressure and the law of conservation of energy. Bernoulli proposed his own equation to explain his thearom. The equation is [(1/2)pu^2+P=constant], its theorem indicates that in fact the total mechanical energy of the flowing fluid, including the energy associated with the fl...... medium paper......therefore, according to Bernoulli's principle, there should be less velocity on the top of the ball than there is on the base of the ball. What happens is that the bottom part of the ball accelerates downward faster than the top part, allowing the ball to curve downward. Daniel Bernoulli was a Swedish-born physicist and medical mathematician. Through his studies, he was able to create his own theorem that helped our daily lives. Bernoulli's theorem has helped humans travel all over the world. Bernoulli's thearom has helped to navigate ships and planes that allow humans to travel to almost any destination they wish. Bernoulli's principle also explains the curveball in baseball. The curveball changed the game of baseball and is called a "phenom" because the ball is capable of drastically changing position due to air pressure on the ball.
