Legendre's conjecture Legendre's conjecture, proposed by Adrien-Marie Legendre, states that there is a prime number between "n" and ("n" + 1) for every positive integer "n". The conjecture is one of Landau's problems (1912) on prime numbers; as of 2017 , the conjecture has neither been proved nor disproved.

Legendre transformation In mathematics and physics, the Legendre transformation, named after Adrien-Marie Legendre, is an involutive transformation on the real-valued convex functions of one real variable. It is commonly used in classical mechanics to derive the Hamiltonian formalism out of the Lagrangian formalism and in thermodynamics to derive the thermodynamic potentials, as well as in the solution of differential equations of several variables.

Daniel Bernoulli Daniel Bernoulli FRS ( ; ] ; 8 February 1700 – 17 March 1782) was a Swiss mathematician and physicist and was one of the many prominent mathematicians in the Bernoulli family. He is particularly remembered for his applications of mathematics to mechanics, especially fluid mechanics, and for his pioneering work in probability and statistics. His name is commemorated in the Bernoulli's principle, a particular example of the conservation of energy, which describes the mathematics of the mechanism underlying the operation of two important technologies of the 20th century: the carburetor and the airplane wing.
