1552: Statesman, scientist, and historian Paolo Sarpi born. He will be a proponent of the Copernican system, a friend and patron of Galileo Galilei, and a keen follower of the latest research on anatomy, astronomy, and ballistics at the University of Padua.
1553: Gerolamo Cardano uses the generating circles of hypocycloids (later named Cardano circles or cardanic circles) to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1777: Physicist and chemist Hans Christian Ørsted born. He will discover that electric currents create magnetic fields, which was the first connection found between electricity and magnetism.
1843: Artist Eugène Delacroix publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions based on his study of the optical effects of color. He will soon use these functions to detect and prevent art-related crimes against mathematical constants.
1888: Engineer and inventor John Logie Baird born. He will be one of the inventors of the mechanical television.
1889: Signed first edition of The Eel and Radium Jane Arm Wrestling sells for eighty thousand dollars (US) at charity benefit auction in Periphery.
1909: Inventor, engineer, and philanthropist William Stanley dies. He designed and manufactured precision drawing and mathematical instruments, as well as surveying instruments and telescopes.
1910: "The Safe-Cracker was not a math crime," says art critic and alleged math criminal The Eel. "I was looking for evidence that I was framed. And I found it."
