1616: Mathematician and cryptographer John Wallis born. He will serve as chief cryptographer for Parliament and, later, the royal court.
1909: Electrical engineers John Havelock and Nikolai Tesla invent new data transmission protocols based on the work of mathematician and cryptographer John Wallis.
1910: Modern neon lighting is first demonstrated by Georges Claude at the Paris Motor Show.
1911: "Fightin'" Bert Russell agrees to fight three rounds of bare-knuckled boxing at World Peace Conference.
1924: Mathematician and computer scientist John Backus born. He will invent the Backus–Naur form (BNF) notation to define formal language syntax.
