In 1700, one of the most brilliant minds in physics, mathematics and medicine was born. Daniel Bernoulli was born into the family of the famous mathematician Johann Bernoulli on February 8, 1700. From the beginning, Daniel Bernoulli was surrounded by mathematics and the great talent of his father and his brother, also a bitter enemy, Jacob Bernoulli. Although you would think that his father would have given him a lot of support in becoming a mathematician, he did not. Johann Bernoulli forced his son to study medicine because he believed that being a mathematician brought no luck; however, Daniel Bernoulli beat all odds. After convincing his father to give him some mathematics lessons, he became one of the greatest physicists of the century; publishing many discoveries. During his medical studies, Daniel became interested in the work of William Harvey, On the Movement of Heat and Blood in Animals. Harvey suggested that the heart was like a pump that pushed blood like a fluid through the arteries. These discoveries marked the beginning of Daniel's interest in fluid dynamics (Miller, 2011). In 1720 he went to Venice to study medicine but ended up working in mathematics. After winning the Paris Academy's annual competition for an hourglass that would continue to tell the exact time even in constant motion, Bernoulli was invited to St. Petersburg by Catherine I of Russia. According to Allali and Bui, the next few years in Russia would be the most prosperous and productive. For example, he worked with Leonhard Euler and helped him discover the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The theory was a simplified version of the linear theory of elasticity. It provided the means to calculate the load it carried and the deflection... middle of the paper... hydrodynamics developed on the basis of theories of watermills, windmills, hydraulic pumps and propellers and distinguished between hydrostatic pressure and hydrodynamics, or pressure when the fluid is static and when it moves. Daniel Bernoulli may have had a rougher father than the rest of us. Johann Bernoulli banished his son from his family after he won the same prize he won for the Paris Academy of Sciences competition and later plagiarized his work Hydrodynamica with Hydraulica. Daniel's home background was horrendous; however, this did not stop Daniel Bernoulli from becoming a sublime scientist. His discoveries about Bernoulli's principle became the general principle of hydrodynamics and are of fundamental importance to modern aeronautics. One is grateful for the time shortened by Daniel; because at that time, six months was the time it took to move from one continent to another.
