Biography
Daniel Bernoulli was born in Basel, Switzerland, into a family of distinguished mathematicians, including his father Johann Bernoulli and his uncle Jacob Bernoulli. He studied medicine and mathematics, and his most significant work, Hydrodynamica, was published in 1738. In this work, he described the Bernoulli's Principle, which explains the behavior of fluid flow and is fundamental in the field of Fluid Dynamics.
