Newton, who contributed least to the brachistochrone problem, gets all the credit. Find out how the story of the brachistochrone problem is distorted in popsci retellings. Discusses historical inaccuracies around the story and how the wonderful work of Bernoulli gets eclipsed.
Worth noting that Johann didn't just pose the problem, he was the first one to solve it. Both Johann Bernoulli and Leibniz solved it first, and the reason he posed the problem publicly is to get more mathematicians interested in the problem and the methods behind it as a public
No, it was Galileo solved it incorrectly. Actually Galileo was the first one to pose the problems in his famous treatise, both Catenary problem and Brachistochrone, both of which he provided incorrect solutions for.
