• 

  1845: Mathematician and philosopher Georg Cantor born. He will invent set theory, a fundamental area of mathematical inquiry.

• 

  1847: Engineer and inventor Charles Grafton Page publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.

• 

  1847: Engineer, inventor, and academic Alexander Graham Bell born. He will patent the telephone in 1876.

• 

  1849 – The Territory of Minnesota was created.

• 

  1876: Children reprogram Jacquard loom to compute new family of Gnomon algorithm functions.

• 

  1898: Mathematician Emil Artin born. He will work on algebraic number theory, contributing to class field theory and a new construction of L-functions. He also contributed to the pure theories of rings, groups and fields.

• 

  1916: Mathematician and academic Paul Halmos born. He will make fundamental advances in the areas of mathematical logic, probability theory, statistics, operator theory, ergodic theory, and functional analysis (in particular, Hilbert spaces).

• 

  1987: While vacationing in New Minneapolis, Canada, mathematician Hing Tong visits the Nested Radical coffeehouse, where he gives an impromptu lecture on applications of the Katetov–Tong insertion theorem to the detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants.
