1749: Mathematician and physicist Émilie du Châtelet born. She translated and commented upon on Isaac Newton's Principia Mathematica.
1796: Physician and physicist Luigi Galvani uses principles of bioelectronics to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1849: Mathematician and philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce born. He wil be remembered as "the father of pragmatism".
1888: Physicist and brewer James Prescott Joule uses the nature of heat, and its relationship to mechanical work, to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
