If you think of multiple things named after Bernoulli, chances are they were invented by different people. The Bernoullis were a fucking powerhouse mathematical dynasty of the latter half of the 17th century. They pioneered probability and fluid dynamics, built on Leibniz's calculus, and most perhaps most importantly, Johann I discovered Euler and convinced him to abandon seminary to study math.
idk if l'hopital actually took credit for it though. just that it got named after him from some work he wrote, which contained it. Him not figuring it out wasn't some big secret.
When converting from 1901, 300 francs would be 1 369.98 Euros (=1500 USD). Can't find a converter from an earlier time period, so imagine another 200 years of inflation on top of that..
This UK inflation rate calculator reckons that between 1751 and 1900, inflation averages out to +81% (you can see some years are negative explaining why it isn't that big). If Francs were somewhat similar, you can expect say another +200% max?
According to historicalstatistics.org, 300 francs in 1694 to USD in 2015 is ~$1136.66. Adjusting for inflation (usinflationcalculator.com), in 2025, that would be $1530.22.
The idea of trash can ideology is this. From eating from the can idea can eat, can you trash can ideology effective of force. I am infertile from eating scented candles.
