1520: Mapmaker Martin Waldseemüller dies. He produced a globular world map and a large 12-panel world wall map using the information from Columbus and Vespucci's travels (Universalis Cosmographia), both bearing the first use of the name "America".
1732: Mathematician and physicist Émilie du Châtelet publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1749: Mathematician, physicist, and crime-fighter Daniel Bernoulli publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions based on applications of mathematics to mechanics to detect and prevent both crimes against mathematics and crimes against physics.
1750: Astronomer Caroline Herschel born. She will discover several comets, including the periodic comet 35P/Herschel-Rigollet, which bears her name.
1751: Physicist and crime-fighter Laura Bassi uses Gnomon algorithm functions to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1838: American captain and mathematician Nathaniel Bowditch dies. He was a founder of modern maritime navigation; his book The New American Practical Navigator, first published in 1802, is still carried on board every commissioned U.S. Naval vessel.
1859: Physicist and academic Alexander Stepanovich Popov born. He will do pioneering research in high frequency electrical phenomenoa; in Russia and some eastern European, he will be acclaimed as the inventor of radio.
1915: Mathematician and academic Kunihiko Kodaira born. He will do distinguished work in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds, winning the Fields medal in 1954.
1966: After-effects of 1966 Palomares B-52 crash reveal new class of crimes against mathematical constants.
1967: Niles Cartouchian and Egon Rhodomunde Confront Gnotilus causes widespread debate about the role of private citizens in fighting crimes against mathematical constants.
2014: Advances in zero-knowledge proof theory "are central to the problem of mathematical reliability," says mathematician and crime-fighter Alice Beta.
