4. Jacob Bernoulli (27 December 1654 – 16 August 1705)
Following his father's wish, Jacob studied theology and entered the ministry. But contrary to the desires of his parents, he also studied mathematics and astronomy. He traveled throughout Europe from 1676 to 1682, learning about the latest discoveries in mathematics and the sciences. This included the work of Robert Boyle and Robert Hooke.
Upon returning to Basel in 1682, he founded a school for mathematics and the sciences. He was appointed professor of mathematics at the University of Basel in 1687, remaining in this position for the rest of his life.
Ars Conjectandi (The Art of Conjecture): includes the application of probability theory to games of chance and his introduction of the theorem known as the law of large numbers.
