A (very) Brief History of the Bernoulli Family

I discuss the lives of ten Bernoullis' from the 17th-18th century, eight of which were mathematicians! Though I discuss some mathematical results, this is mostly about their lives, so thus not very math heavy.
ERROR NOTE: Nicolaus Bernoulli, soon of 1623 Nicolaus, was actually born 1662, and died 1716.
01:20 Nicolaus (1623)
02:35 Jacob
06:05 Nicolaus (1662)
06:39 Johann
10:27 Nicolaus I
12:52 Nicolaus II
14:11 Daniel
20:21 Johann II
21:49 Johann III
23:42 Jacob II

    ha! I remember the first time I learned about a Bernoulli was when I was introduced to the concept of lift. Then I remember I later heard his name in the context of the St. Peteresburg paradox and I was like, "wait? Is that the same guy?!" and then I later heard about his name in the context of Bernoulli trials and I was like, "damn! This family be prolific!"

    Hey, nice video but just a heads-up: the top-right picture at 16:24 is of Hermann Grassmann, not Goldbach. That picture is based off a photograph of Grassmann (1800s) and there wouldn't have been any photos of Goldbach (1690-1764).

    Thanks for making this. It is very good. Just a note on the year of birth and year of death of the two younger brothers of Jacob Bernoulli (i.e. Nicoalus and Johann). On the family tree chart in this video it is given that both Nicoalus Bernoulli and Johann Bernoulli were born in 1667 and died in 1748. Same year of birth and same year of death. Other sources differ on this. Just in case you might like to cross-check.

    Bought a oil painting K Bernoulli. In Switzerland. Wonder are they related. No K here. I have to add this to the link. Karl was the last Bernoulli because his daughter Eva died 1991.

    @@moderndaymath thanks for the all the hard work, do u know about the cause of deaths? I'm very curious about what was killing them over the years. Any congenital diseases? Genius is not a coincidence, what dna studies, if any, have been done? Curious is an understatement... Lemme know? 🤔😁
