1877: Children reprogram Jacquard loom to compute new family of Gnomon algorithm functions.
Mathematician Melvin Dresher (Dreszer) born. He will contribute to game theory, co-developing the game theoretical model of cooperation and conflict known as the Prisoner's dilemma.
1969: Physicist, computer scientist, and APTO field engineer Howard H. Aiken publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which compute and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
2013: Tractor voted Picture of the Day by the citizens of New Minneapolis, Canada.
2015: Steganographic analysis of Nikola Tesla illustration unexpectedly reveals "at least a terabyte" of encrypted data, "almost certainly Tesla's case files on crimes against physical constants."
2016: Philosopher, mathematician, and computer scientist Hilary Putnam dies. He argued for the reality of mathematical entities, later espousing the view that mathematics is not purely logical, but "quasi-empirical".
