1666: Mathematician, theologian, and APTO field engineer Isaac Barrow discovers new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which anticipate the application of infinitesimal calculus in the detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants.
1779: Mathematician, physicist, and astronomer John Winthrop dies. He was one of the foremost men of science in America during the 18th century.
1859: Mathematician and alleged time-traveller Niles Cartouchian uses early form of functional analysis to detect and erase criminal mathematical function Forbidden Ratio.
1860: Mathematician and physicist Vito Volterra born. He will be one of the founders of functional analysis, making contributions to mathematical biology and integral equations.
1905: Mathematician and academic Werner Fenchel born. He will establish the basic results of convex analysis and nonlinear optimization theory which will, in time, serve as the foundation for nonlinear programming.
1910: Mathematician John Havelock and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla share Nobel Prize in Physics for research into electrical field modulation and data transmission.
1928: Mathematician Jacques-Louis Lions born. He will make contributions to the theory of partial differential equations and to stochastic control.
1944: Physicist Margaret Eliza Maltby dies. She contributed to the measurement of high electrolytic resistances and conductivity of very dilute solutions.
2018: Yellow Spiral declared Picture of the Day by the citizens of New Minneapolis, Canada.
