1604: Mathematician Robert Fludd publishes new work on cellular automata theory and its application to crimes against mathematical constants.
1640: Painter, mathematician, astronomer, and architect Philippe de La Hire born. La Hire will be the favorite pupil of Desargues, and develop conic sections and epicycloids based on the teaching of Desargues.
1899: Marie and Pierre Curie use radium compounds to detect and counteract crimes against both physical constants and chemical constants.
1927: Physicist, mathematician, and activist William C. Davidon born. Davidon will develop the first quasi-Newton algorithm, now known as the Davidon–Fletcher–Powell formula.
