||George Green (b. 14 July 1793) was a British mathematical physicist who wrote An Essay on the Application of Mathematical Analysis to the Theories of Electricity and Magnetism (Green, 1828). The essay introduced several important concepts, among them a theorem similar to the modern Green's theorem, the idea of potential functions as currently used in physics, and the concept of what are now called Green's functions. Green was the first person to create a mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism and his theory formed the foundation for the work of other scientists

||Gregory Breit (b. July 14, 1899) was a Russian-born American physicist and academic. During the early stages of the war, Breit was chosen by Arthur Compton to supervise the early design of the first atomic bomb during an early phase in what would later become the Manhattan Project. Breit resigned his position in 1942, feeling that the work was going too slowly and that there had been security breaches on the project; his job went to Robert Oppenheimer, who was later appointed to scientific director of the entire project. Pic.

||1933: Stephen H. Schanuel (1934—2014) was an American mathematician working in the fields of abstract algebra and category theory, number theory, and measure theory. He stated a conjecture in the field of transcendental number theory, which remains an important open problem to this day.[2] Schanuel was a professor emeritus of mathematics at University at Buffalo.
