Talk:Johann Bernoulli

Initial editing
Ok, well I have a small biography laying around in my archives somewhere, I will expand on it in my free time and add the content to this article after reviewing my sources once more. This will be my first edit to Wikipedia, so I shall apologize in advance if the style or format are eye-sores. --Scarabdrac 23:11, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Has no one mentioned that Johann, or Jean, Bernoulli developed most of L'Hospital's rule on indeterminate forms? Or at least that Johann was a teacher of G.F.A. de L'Hospitalin the Leibnizian discipline of mathematics in 1692? Jean Bernoulli did more than work on "problem of a particle moving in a gravitational field." He practically wrote L'Hospital's rule, one of the fundamental concepts in calculus that is applied to tangent lines and points of inflection on indeterminate forms. I don't know where to find them specifically, but recently correspondence between Bernoulli and L'Hospital have been published which supports Bernoulli's claims of plagiarism regarding the "Analyse," where the rule was first published. --Scarabdrac 13:02, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I removed some information on L'Hopital's rule because it seems to me that readers interested in it can find information on it in its article.

controversy over the book
The account of the controversy involving Guillaume de l'Hopital presented at that page is much more detailed and also more accurate. This should be noted here. Tkuvho (talk) 16:04, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

L'Hôpital / L'Hospital
I think the name L'Hospital (in the article) should be changed for L'Hôpital because names of people shouldn't be changed, even though the pronounciation is the same. --mj (talk) 17:37, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

pronunciation
How is Bernoulli pronounced? --Taejo|대조 12:07, 5 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Nowadays, most people say berr-NEW-lee. No idea if it was pronounced this way in 17th-century Switzerland. —173.68.139.31 (talk) 04:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

De effervescentia, et fermentatione: dissertation degree in medicine
In 1690, Bernoulli completed a dissertation whose title was De Motu musculorum et de effervescentia et fermentatione. According to (here cited p. 133), it was related to a degree in medicine. But the place of take the degree reamins still unclear.

In 1734, it was published his degree dissertation in medicine whose title was According to the American Philosophical Society edition published in 1997, the work was completed in 1690 and "reviewed by no less than Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (Note 1) in the Acta Eruditorum of February 1691, pp. 64-66".

Therefore, the following sentence "However, Johann Bernoulli did not enjoy medicine either and began studying mathematics on the side with his older brother Jacob", has been partially rewritten. Regards, Theologian81sp
