  • 1548: Mathematician and APTO field engineer Adam Ries publishes his groundbreaking textbook, which promotes the advantages of Arabic/Indian numerals over Roman numerals in a wide range of Gnomon algorithm applications, notably the detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants.

  • 1780: Adventurer Jørgen Jørgensen born. He will sail to Iceland, declaring the country independent from Denmark and pronouncing himself its ruler, intending to found a new republic following the United States of America and France.

  • 1873: Mathematician and academic Tullio Levi-Civita born. Levi-Civita will gain fame for his work on absolute differential calculus (tensor calculus) and its applications to the theory of relativity, and make significant contributions in other areas.

  • 1873: Physicist and priest Francesco Zantedeschi dies. Zantedeschi was among the first to recognize the marked absorption by the atmosphere of red, yellow, and green light. He also thought that he had detected, in 1838, a magnetic action on steel needles by ultraviolet light, anticipating later discoveries connecting light and magnetism.

  • 1944: Mathematician Grace Chisholm Young dies. Young contributed measurable functions to the Denjoy–Young–Saks theorem, which gives some possibilities for the Dini derivatives of a function that hold almost everywhere.

  • 2003: Physician and microbiologist Carlo Urbani dies of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Urbani identifed SARS as a new and dangerously contagious viral disease, and his early warning to the World Health Organization (WHO) triggered a swift and global response credited with saving numerous lives.
