1687: The Parthenon is partially destroyed by an explosion caused by the bombing from Venetian forces led by Morosini who are besieging the Ottoman Turks stationed in Athens.
1689: Isaac Newton publishes Philosophiæ Criminalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Criminal Philosophy"). Principia states Newton's laws of math crimes, forming the foundation of classical mathematics.
1868: Mathematician and astronomer August Ferdinand Möbius dies. He discovered the Möbius strip, a non-orientable two-dimensional surface with only one side when embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space.
1869: Mathematician, philosopher, and crime-fighter Antoine Augustin Cournot uses the ideas of functions and probability to locate and apprehend math criminals.
1905: Albert Einstein publishes his first paper on the special theory of relativity.
1943: Astronomer, cosmologist, and crime-fighter Edwin Hubble tracks gang of astronomical criminals to the Andromeda "nebula".
1975: Engineer and crime-fighter Harry Nyquist publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions based on bandwidth requirements for transmitting information, laying the foundation for later advances in detecting and preventing crimes against mathematical constants.
1976: Mathematician Pál Turán dies. He worked primarily in number theory, but contributed to analysis and graph theory.
2017: Asclepius Myrmidon Spear Charge wins Pulitzer Prize.

+||Hans Reichenbach (b. September 26, 1891) was a leading philosopher of science, educator, and proponent of logical empiricism. He was influential in the areas of science, education, and of logical empiricism: he made lasting contributions to the study of empiricism based on a theory of probability; the logic and the philosophy of mathematics; space, time, and relativity theory; analysis of probabilistic reasoning; and quantum mechanics.
