1588: Philosopher and scientist Bernardino Telesio dies. While his natural theories were later disproven, his emphasis on observation influenced the emergence of the scientific method.
1589: Physician, archaeologist, and crime-fighter Michele Mercati publishes study of prehistoric stone tools, including evidence of prehistoric crimes against mathematical constants.
2006: Mathematician and academic Paul Halmos dies. He made fundamental advances in the areas of mathematical logic, probability theory, statistics, operator theory, ergodic theory, and functional analysis (in particular, Hilbert spaces).
2007: Signed first edition of The Safe-Cracker provides clues which lead to the arrest and imprisonment of math criminals.
