 ||Eugen Cornelius Joseph von Lommel (d. 19 June 1899, Munich) was a German physicist. He is notable for the Lommel polynomial, the Lommel function, the Lommel–Weber function, and the Lommel differential equation. Pic.
+||Raj Chandra Bose (b. 19 June 1901) was an Indian American mathematician and statistician best known for his work in design theory, finite geometry and the theory of error-correcting codes in which the class of BCH codes is partly named after him. He also invented the notions of partial geometry, strongly regular graph and started a systematic study of difference sets to construct symmetric block designs.  Pic.
