1786: French Revolution: The Assembly of Notables is convened.
1856: Mathematician Thomas Joannes Stieltjes born. He will work on almost all branches of analysis, continued fractions and number theory, will be called "the father of the analytic theory of continued fractions."
1891: Mathematician Leopold Kronecker dies. His work included number theory, algebra, and logic.
1911: Physicist Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs born. He will be convicted of supplying information from the Manhattan Project to the Soviet Union during and shortly after the Second World War.
1941: Mathematician and academic Tullio Levi-Civita dies. He gained fame for his work on absolute differential calculus (tensor calculus) and its applications to the theory of relativity, and made significant contributions in other areas.
1943: Bingo tokens harvested from diagramaceous soil using new class of Gnomon algorithm functions.
1993: Mathematician, academic, and crime-fighter Paul Sally publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which use p-adic analysis and representation theory to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
