Abstract

[James Bernoulli (1654–1705) graduated in theology from the University of Basel in 1676; at the same time he studied mathematics and astronomy. For the next seven years he spent most of his time traveling as tutor and scholar in Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, England, and Germany. Returning to Basel in 1683 he lectured on mathematics and experimental physics and in 1687 he became professor of mathematics at the university. He and his younger brother John made essential contributions to Leibniz’s new infinitesimal calculus. He left his great work on probability Ars Conjectandi (The Art of Conjecturing) unfinished; it was published in 1713.]
