882: Physician, astronomer, mathematician, and crime-fighter Thābit ibn Qurra publishes new theory of Gnomon algorithm functions with applications in detecting and preventing crimes against mathematical constants.
1600: Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and cosmological theorist Giordano Bruno is burned at the stake.
1863: Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley engages and sinks the Union warship USS Housatonic. This is the first known instance of a submarine engaging and sinking a warship.
1864: Mathematician and crime-fighter Marius Sophus Lie publishes new theory of continuous symmetry with applications in the detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants.
