Dawn of Math and Infectious Diseases Let's keep up with this! It doesn't matter whether you are a Physics Major or Biology Major or Mathematics Major when it comes to facing one heart-throbbing name  "The Bernoullis" ! Can you imagine 8 members from the same family with immense contribution to mathematics? This name occurs so frequently in science and mathematics that sometimes it's pretty hard to track down which Bernoulli contributed to Fluid mechanics and which one rubbed an ink for the Probability theory and Economics and which one was possessed by solving the Brachistochrone curve. Fig 1.  Daniel Bernoulli [1] One of the prominent names that I recently came across is Daniel Bernoulli or just Dan to make it look more familiar. He is known for his work in Fluid mechanics and Principles of Superposition. Apart from achieving success in the field of Physics as well as Economics, he was the first one to lay the foundation for mathematical modelin
