1919: Theoretical physicist and crime-fighter Johannes Diderik van der Waals publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants based on the states of gases and liquids.
1920: Science fiction writer and screenwriter Ray Bradbury born. The New York Times will call Bradbury "the writer most responsible for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream".
1943: Signed first edition of Janet Beta at ENIAC traded for freshly minted 1943 Eleanor Roosevelt dime.
1974: Mathematician, historian of science, theatre author, poet, and inventor Jacob Bronowski dies.
1975: Statistician and educator George E. P. Box publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions, based on time-series analysis and Bayesian inference, which detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
