Daniel Bernoulli

Inspired by the man he looked up to to follow in his footsteps was the jealous egotistical man Johann Bernoulli, Daniels father. His father was one of those self centered guys who had too much pride for his own good and wanted to be better than everyone else, even his own son. It is because of this that Daniel and his father never had the best relationship with one another. Even still Daniel respected his father; he even credited him in the book he wrote. Yet his father still took credit for Daniel’s theory of hydrodynamics, which is when Daniel decided he had had enough of his father being selfish and he gave up on math. I think that it is such a shame that his father’s greed and jealousy took Daniel over and made him give up something that we was clearly brilliant at, I mean if he was working with Isaac Newton he must be a genius.
