Topics related to "Bernoulli"

Bernoulli
Bernoulli or Bernouilli , name of a family distinguished in scientific and mathematical history. The family, after leaving Antwerp, finally settled in Basel, Switzerland, where it grew in fame. Jacob, Jacques, or James Bernoulli, 1654-1705, became professor at Basel in 1687. One of the chief d... Read more
Leonhard Euler
Leonhard Euler , 1707-83, Swiss mathematician. Born and educated at Basel, where he knew the Bernoullis, he went to St. Petersburg (1727) at the invitation of Catherine I, becoming professor of mathematics there on the departure of Daniel Bernoulli (1733). He was invited to Berlin (1741) by Frederic... Read more
aerodynamics
aerodynamics study of gases in motion. As the principal application of aerodynamics is the design of aircraft, air is the gas with which the science is most concerned. Although aerodynamics is primarily concerned with flight, its principles are also used in designing automobile and train bodies for... Read more
Basel
Basel or Basle , Fr. Bâle, canton, N Switzerland, bordering on France and Germany. It is bounded in the N by the Rhine River (which becomes navigable in the canton) and in the S by the Jura Mts. Although it has industries, Basel is mainly a region of fertile fields, meadows, orchards, an... Read more
Sir Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727, English mathematician and natural philosopher (physicist), who is considered by many the greatest scientist that ever lived. Early Life and Work Newton studied at Cambridge and was professor there from 1669 to 1701, succeeding his teacher Isaac Barrow as Lucasi... Read more
mechanics
mechanics branch of physics concerned with motion and the forces that tend to cause it; it includes study of the mechanical properties of matter , such as density , elasticity , and viscosity . Mechanics may be roughly divided into statics and dynamics ; statics deals with bodies at re... Read more
molecule
molecule [New Lat.,=little mass], smallest particle of a compound that has all the chemical properties of that compound. A single atom is usually not referred to as a molecule, and ionic compounds such as common salt are not made up of molecules. Unlike ions , molecules carry no electrical charg... Read more
pressure
pressure in mechanics, ratio of the force acting on a surface to the area of the surface; it is thus distinct from the total force acting on a surface. A force can be applied to and sustained by a single point on a solid. However, a force can only be sustained by the surface of an enclosed fluid,... Read more
mathematics
mathematics deductive study of numbers, geometry, and various abstract constructs, or structures; the latter often "abstract" the features common to several models derived from the empirical, or applied, sciences, although many emerge from purely mathematical or logical considerations. Mathemat... Read more
physics
physics branch of science traditionally defined as the study of matter , energy , and the relation between them; it was called natural philosophy until the late 19th cent. and is still known by this name at a few universities. Physics is in some senses the oldest and most basic pure science; it... Read more
