Jacob Bernoulli played a significant role in mathematics, particularly in the fields of calculus and probability. He supported Leibniz during the calculus controversy and was instrumental in the development of Leibnizian calculus. Together with his brother Johann, he advanced the calculus of variations. Jacob also discovered the mathematical constant e and formulated the initial version of the law of large numbers in his work Ars Conjectandi. His career was distinguished by important contributions to mathematics that have had a lasting impact on the field.
