Johann Bernoulli (Basel, July 27, 1667 - January 1, 1748) was a Swiss mathematician. He was the brother of Jakob Bernoulli, and the father of Daniel Bernoulli (for whom the Bernoulli's principle was named) and Nicolaus II Bernoulli. He is also known as Jean or John Bernoulli. He educated the great mathematician Leonhard Euler in his youth.

Bernoulli was known for being extremely jealous. Because of jealously towards his son Daniel, Johann took all of the ideas of his son's book Hydrodynamica and made his own book, all the while predating it to receive the credit. He was employed by his student, Guillaume de l'Hôpital, whose name is still associated with the solution to 0/0 limits (L'Hôpital's rule), which was probably discovered by Bernoulli. After de l'Hôpital's death, Bernoulli claimed to be responsible for most of de l'Hôpital's textbook on calculus. Guillaume François Antoine, Marquis de lHôpital (1661 – February 2, 1704) was a French mathematician. ... In calculus, lHôpitals rule (alternatively, and quite incorrectly, lHospitals rule) uses derivatives to help compute limits with indeterminate forms. ...
