The Bernoulli Brothers

The Bernoulli brothers worked on mathematics until their deaths and were very strong mathematicians. Jakob and Johann Bernoulli came from a family of merchants. Jakob Bernoulli was born in Basel Switzerland on December 27, 1654. He received his master of arts in philosophy in 1676, but he also mathematics and theology against the will of his father. Jakob did not invent any new processes. His outstanding achievement was the division of a triangle into four equal parts by means of two straight lines perpendicular to each other. He also applied the infinitesimal calculus to several problems. He wrote two essays about his lessons on differential calculus, which uses the earliest written work to se the tem integral. He became professor of mathematics at Basel in 1687 where he mastered Leibnizian calculus. Jakob countered Leibniz's problem on the determination of the curve of constant decent with the determination of the shape of the catenary, which Leibniz solved. In differential calculus, he examined
