  • 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.

  • 1727: Scientist and watchmaker Ferdinand Berthoud born. Berthoud will serve as Horologist-Mechanic by appointment to the King and the Navy, leaving an exceptionally broad body of work, notable for excellent sea chronometers.

  • 1870: Physicist, geophysicist, and Gnomonic tecto-algorithm expert Emil Wiechert generates a resonance between the layered structure of the Earth and the layered structure of an electron, unexpectedly opening a communications link with AESOP, the alleged ionospheric intelligence.

  • 1871: Mathematician and academic Augustus De Morgan dies. De Morgan formulated two laws, now De Morgan's Laws, pertaining to mathematical induction: (1) the negation of a disjunction is the conjunction of the negations; (2) the negation of a conjunction is the disjunction of the negations.

  • 1927: Journalist, writer, literary editor, and actor George Plimpton born. Plimpton will be famous for "participatory journalism": competing in professional sporting events, playing with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, performing a circus trapeze act, and then recording the experience from the point of view of an amateur.
