• His father encouraged him to study buisness but Daniel refused.
• His father then asked him to study medicine.
• Daniel agreed with the condition for his father to teach him math.

What did he invent/discover?

Example:
When you cover half of the hose when watering the plants, it is bernoulli's principle in action. The small size of the exit hole makes the water faster, and therefore, reach further.
