<p>Jacob Bernoulli, born on December 27, 1654, and deceased on August 16, 1705, held the chair of mathematics at the University of his native city, Basel. He is above all renowned for his pioneering work in the emergent field of probability theory, which owes to him its name and a first important theorem, the Law of Large Numbers. He also contributed to the early development of differential geometry, the calculus of variations, and integral calculus. In mechanics, he was among the first to recognize the significance of conservation principles, particularly with respect to angular momentum.</p>

<p>Johann Bernoulli, born on August 6, 1667, and deceased on January 1, 1748, was a mathematician and physicist from Basel. His teaching laid the foundation for the first textbook of infinitesimal calculus, the Marquis de l'Hôpital's Analyse des infiniment petits, and influenced several notable scientists such as Jean le Rond d'Alembert and Leonhard Euler. Bernoulli's career was marked by his involvement in the Leibniz–Newton controversy, by his contributions to various mathematical problems such as the brachistochrone curve, and by his research on hydrodynamics carried out in competition with his son Daniel.</p>

<p>Nikolaus I Bernoulli was born on October 20, 1687, in Basel and died there on November 29, 1759. Although he held a chair in public law in his native city for most of his life, his main research interest was in mathematics, where he contributed to the fields of probability theory, infinite series and differential equations. Much of his research can be found in his correspondence with leading mathematicians of his time, including Pierre Rémond de Montmort, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Leonhard Euler.</p>

<p>Nicolaus II Bernoulli, born on February 6, 1695, and deceased on July 31, 1726, came from the famous dynasty of mathematicians from Basel and showed his promise at an early age. As a professor at Padua he contributed to the spread of Leibnizian calculus in Italy, making significant contributions to the field of differential equations and working, in particular, on the problem of orthogonal trajectories. In 1725, he was appointed to the newly founded Academy of Science at St. Petersburg; however, his early death cut short a promising career.</p>

<p>Daniel Bernoulli, born on February 8, 1700, in Groningen and deceased on March 17, 1782, in Basel, came from a famous family of mathematicians. Holding chairs at St. Petersburg and Basel, he was a prominent physicist of his generation, winning the annual prize of the Paris Académie des Sciences no fewer than ten times. His research in mechanics includes the first explanation of a macroscopic law by molecular motion, the significant "Bernoulli's principle" in fluid dynamics, and a profound insight into the nature of oscillations. He is also known for pioneering work in physiology, epidemiology, and statistics.</p>

<p>Johann II Bernoulli, born on May 18, 1710, and deceased on July 17, 1790, was the third son of Johann I Bernoulli.
He studied law and mathematics and served as a professor of eloquence at the University of Basel. In 1748, he succeeded his father on the chair of mathematics. His interests included the study of the propagation of light, where he was among the first to propose a wave theory, and magnetism.</p>

After his studies in law, mathematics, and physics, he traveled in Italy, serving as a secretary to an Austrian diplomat. In 1786, he joined the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg and published several papers on elasticity and the vibrations of plates. Tragically, shortly after his marriage to a granddaughter of Leonhard Euler, he died in a bathing accident in the Neva River.</p>

<p>Jacob Hermann, born in Basel on July 16, 1678, and deceased there on July 11, 1733, was a mathematician known for his work in classical mechanics.
After defending a thesis on infinite series with Jacob Bernoulli, he studied theology, but then, on the basis of his connections with leading scientists of his time, including Johann I Bernoulli and Leibniz, went on to take chairs of mathematics at Padua, Frankfurt an der Oder, and St. Petersburg. His publications deal, among other things with isoperimetric figures, the cause of gravitation and frictional motion; his opus magnum, the Phoronomia (1716), is the earliest systematic treatment of Newtonian mechanics.</p>

<p>Leonhard Euler, born on April 15, 1707, in Basel and deceased on September 18, 1783, in St. Petersburg, was the leading scientist of his time and one of the greatest mathematicians in history. From an early age, he made significant contributions to almost all areas of mathematics and physics: the areas he deeply influenced include, to cite just a few, analysis—a field that he virtually founded—number theory, geometry, the emerging area of topology, dynamics, and optics. Euler's vast impact on science also extends to the introduction, in his textbooks, of many elements of modern mathematical terminology and notation. </p>

<p>Nicolaus (Nikolai) Fuss, born on January 29, 1755, in Basel and deceased on December 23, 1825, in St. Petersburg was a mathematician and scientist mainly active in Russia.
After his studies with Daniel Bernoulli, he went to St. Petersburg in 1773 to serve as an assistant to Leonhard Euler, who was by then severely sight-impaired. His publications from that time deal with problems proposed by Euler in optics, spherical trigonometry and differential geometry; later he also did research in actuarial science and the theory of comets. From 1800 until his death, Fuss held the position of permanent secretary to the Imperial Russian Academy of Sciences.</p>
