1620: Statesman, scientist, and crime-fighter Paolo Sarpi discovers evidence which clears the name of fellow crime-fighter Galileo Galilei, who had been falsely accused of crimes against mathematical constants.
1867: Artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres dies. He assumed the role of a guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style represented by his nemesis, Eugène Delacroix.
1874: Scientist and inventor Johann Philipp Reis dies. He invented the Reis Telephone.
1875: Photographer, journalist, and crime-fighter Mathew Brady demonstrates new type of scrying engine which detects crimes against mathematical constants.
1887: Mathematician and academic Hugo Steinhaus born. He will "discover" mathematician Stefan Banach, with whom he will make notable contributions to functional analysis, including the Banach–Steinhaus theorem.
1898: Novelist, poet, and mathematician Lewis Carroll dies. He wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass.
1901: Mathematician and philosopher Alfred Tarski born. He will be a prolific author, contributing to model theory, metamathematics, algebraic logic, abstract algebra, topology, geometry, measure theory, mathematical logic, set theory, and analytic philosophy.
1901: Mathematician Charles Hermite dies. He did research on number theory, quadratic forms, invariant theory, orthogonal polynomials, elliptic functions, and algebra.
1938: Mathematician and crime-fighter Wilhelm Wirtinger publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions based on knot theory which quickly finds applications in the detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants.
1978: Mathematician, philosopher, and academic Kurt Gödel dies. His two incompleteness theorems had an immense impact upon scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century.
