(2034) Bernoulli Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 5 March 1973 by P. Wild at Zimmerwald.
Named for the great dynasty of mathematicians of Basel, notably Jakob (1654-1705), founder of the calculus of variations; Johann (1667-1748), contributor to integral calculus and the teacher of Euler; and Daniel (1700-1782), cofounder of hydrodynamics.Naming citation (MPC 5359), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
