1682: Mathematician and astronomer Roger Cotes born. Cotes will work closely with Isaac Newton, proofreading the second edition of Newton's Principia. Cotes also invented the quadrature formulas known as Newton–Cotes formulas, and first introduced what is known today as Euler's formula.
1856: Electrical engineer Nikola Tesla born. He will make pioneering contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
1938: Mathematician and theorist Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn uses combinatorics, logic, and Gnomon algorithm techniques to detect and reverse crimes against mathematical constants.
1962: Telstar, the world's first communications satellite, is launched into orbit.
2017: Signed first edition of Albert Einstein and Alice Beta Conducting Research sells for ten millions dollars at a charity benefit for victims of crimes against mathematical constants.
2018: Signed first edition of Golden Spiral is stolen from the Walker Art Museum in New Minneapolis, Canada by criminal artificial intelligence Gnotilus.
