- Daniel Bernoulli was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, and engineer.
- He made significant contributions to various fields, including mathematics, natural philosophy, and economics.
- Bernoulli’s early mathematical work included the Exercitationes and the resolution of compound motions.
- His chief work, Hydrodynamica, resembled Joseph Louis Lagrange’s Mécanique Analytique.
- Bernoulli wrote a large number of papers on mechanical questions, especially on vibrating strings.
- He worked with Euler on elasticity and the development of the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation.
- Bernoulli’s principle is of critical use in aerodynamics.
- He offered a solution to the St. Petersburg paradox as the basis of the economic theory of risk aversion, risk premium, and utility.
