Bernoulli chose a figure of a logarithmic spiral and the motto Eadem mutata resurgo (" Changed and yet the same, I rise again ") for his gravestone ; the spiral executed by the stonemasons was, however, an Archimedean spiral., “ Bernoulli wrote that the logarithmic spiral ‘ may be used as a symbol, either of fortitude and constancy in adversity, or of the human body, which after all its changes, even after death, will be restored to its exact and perfect self ’.” ( Livio 2002: 116 ).

Bernoulli and figure
Rather, it traces out Watt's curve, a lemniscate or figure eight shaped curve ; when the lengths of its bars and its base are chosen to form a crossed square, it traces the lemniscate of Bernoulli.
When e = 1, the curve is the lemniscate of Bernoulli having the shape of a sideways figure eight with a double point ( specifically, a crunode ) at the origin.
Bernoulli and logarithmic
A common utility model, suggested by Bernoulli himself, is the logarithmic function U ( w ) = ln ( w ) ( known as “ log utility ”).
In 1730, Daniel Bernoulli studied " moral probability " in his book Mensura Sortis, where he introduced what would today be called " logarithmic utility of money " and applied it to gambling and insurance problems, including a solution of the paradoxical Saint Petersburg problem.
Bernoulli thought that a logarithmic utility function accounted well for the diminishing marginal utility of wealth since people consider money gains to be less and less satisfying the more they possess of it.
Bernoulli and ("
Unfortunately in the literature the definition is given in two variants: Despite the fact that Bernoulli defined B < sub > 1 </ sub > = 1 / 2 ( now known as " second Bernoulli numbers "), some authors set B < sub > 1 </ sub > = − 1 / 2 (" first Bernoulli numbers ").
# The first line expresses the probability distribution of each Y < sub > i </ sub >: Conditioned on the explanatory variables, it follows a Bernoulli distribution parameterized by p < sub > i </ sub >, the probability of the outcome of 1 (" success ", " yes ", etc.
Bernoulli and yet
This problem per se is not greatly important, yet it shows the geometric genius of Nunes as it was a problem which was independently tackled by Johann and Jakob Bernoulli more than a century later with less success.
Bernoulli and same
The Bernoulli numbers were discovered around the same time by the Swiss mathematician Jakob Bernoulli, after whom they are named, and independently by Japanese mathematician Seki Kōwa.
Later, Nikolaus Bernoulli made the same assertion concerning the polynomial x < sup > 4 </ sup > − 4x < sup > 3 </ sup > + 2x < sup > 2 </ sup > + 4x + 4, but he got a letter from Euler in 1742 in which he was told that his polynomial happened to be equal to
They all have the same Bernoulli distribution.
This should not be confused with the principle in physics with the same name, named after Jacob Bernoulli's nephew Daniel Bernoulli.
Let X be a random sample of size n such that each X < sub > i </ sub > has the same Bernoulli distribution with parameter p. Let T be the number of 1s observed in the sample.
In other words, if you were to run a large number of Bernoulli trials using the same probability of success p < sub > i </ sub >, coding each success a 1 and each failure a 0 as is standard, and then take the average of all those 1's and 0's, the result you'd get would be close to p < sub > i </ sub >.
The Bernoulli brothers often worked on the same problems, but not without friction.
In June 1696 Bernoulli addressed a letter to the mathematicians of Europe challenging them to solve two problems —( 1 ) to determine the brachistochrone between two given points not in the same vertical line, ( 2 ) to determine a curve such that, if a straight line drawn through a fixed point A meet it in two points P < sub > 1 </ sub >, P < sub > 2 </ sub >, then AP < sub > 1 </ sub > m + AP < sub > 2 </ sub > m garbled will be constant.
In the same year he made the acquaintance of Jakob Bernoulli and Christiaan Huygens, with whom a particularly close cooperation was developed.
The binomial distribution is the probability distribution of the number of " successes " in n independent Bernoulli trials, with the same probability of " success " on each trial.
Additional topics in Malfatti's research concerned quintic equations, and the property of the lemniscate of Bernoulli that a ball rolling down an arc of the lemniscate, under the influence of gravity, will take the same time to traverse it as a ball rolling down a straight line segment connecting the endpoints of the arc.
He made use of the same suppositions as Daniel Bernoulli, though his calculus was established in a very different manner.
Bernoulli and I
After finishing his studies he went on long educational voyages from 1710 to 1724 through Europe, visiting other German states, England, Holland, Italy, and France, meeting with many famous mathematicians, such as Gottfried Leibniz, Leonhard Euler, and Nicholas I Bernoulli.
