1675: Mathematician Gottfried Leibniz demonstrates integral calculus for the first time to find the area under the graph of y = ƒ(x).
1875: Astronomer Vesto Melvin Slipher born. He will perform the first measurements of radial velocities for galaxies, providing the empirical basis for the expansion of the universe.
1904: Mathematician and academic J. H. C. Whitehead born. During the Second World War, he will work with the codebreakers at Bletchley Park.
1930: Physicist Hugh Everett III born. He will propose the many-worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum physics.
1933: Cantor Parabola warns that crimes against mathematical constants are on the rise.
