Leonhard Euler and the Bernoullis: Mathematicians from Basel 1st Edition by M. B. W. Tent (PDF)

Description

“Leonhard Euler and the Bernoullis is a fascinating tale of the Bernoulli family and Euler’s association with them. Successful merchants in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Bernoullis were driven out of Antwerp during the persecution of the Huguenots and settled first in Frankfurt, and then in Basel, where one of the most remarkable mathematical dynasties evolved with Jacob, Johann, and Daniel Bernoulli the most prominent among them. Euler, fortunate to have had Johann Bernoulli as a tutor, quickly rose to prominence in the academies of Berlin and St. Petersburg, and became the most prolific and profound mathematician that ever lived. The story of these remarkable men, their great ambitions and dedication to their science-often against parental authority-is skillfully told by the author. Refreshing fictional dialogue is interspersed throughout into an otherwise accurate historical scenario. The book is intended for the young adult audience of middle school and early high school ages, but surely will also appeal to a general audience, with or without mathematical background.” –Walter Gautschi, Purdue University

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Entertaining biography on Jacob, Johann, Daniel Bernoulli and their good friend Leonhard Euler. This book is easy to read and informative about the lives of each character. It is however, missing information about their particular mathematical achievements. This is probably because the target reader will lack the mathematical background to understand them. I strongly suggest this book for any middle school or high school English class.

⭐Written for young people, but good nonetheless.Most biographies either cover the math or don’t. This book EXPLAINS the math, which is very good for people learning math. It explains the history very well too.

⭐As my headline suggests really interesting history but a bit of maths would not have not gone astray with the probability questions.

⭐Great story
