||Jenifer Haselgrove (b. 3 August 1930) was a British physicist and computer scientist. She is most noted for her formulation of ray tracing equations in a cold magneto-plasma, now widely known in the radio science community as Haselgrove's Equations. Nopic.
||Otto Marcin Nikodym (b. 3 August 1887) was a Polish mathematician. He worked in a wide range of areas, but his best-known early work was his contribution to the development of the Lebesgue–Radon–Nikodym integral (see Radon–Nikodym theorem). Pic.


||Mark Kac (b. August 3, 1914 – October 26, 1984) was a Polish American mathematician. His main interest was probability theory.

(In the end, the answer was "no", in general.) Pic.
