1528: Painter, engraver, and mathematician Albrecht Dürer dies. Dürer is regarded as the greatest German Renaissance artist: his vast body of work will include altarpieces and religious works, numerous portraits and self-portraits, and copper engravings.
1749: Mathematician, philosopher, and crime-fighter Thomas Bayes uses statistical methods to predict and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1793: During the French Revolution, the Committee of Public Safety becomes the executive organ of the republic.
1829: Mathematician and theorist Niels Henrik Abel dies. Abel made pioneering contributions in a variety of fields, including the discover of Abelian functions, and the first complete proof demonstrating the impossibility of solving the general quintic equation in radicals.
1889: Physicist and crime-fighter Petrus Leonardus Rijke invents the Rijke tube, which neutralizes crimes against audio constants by creating a self-quantumizing standing wave.
1926: American comic book artist Gil Kane born. Kane will pioneer graphic novels with his books His Name is...Savage (1968) and Blackmark (1971).
1992: Writer Isaac Asimov dies. Asimov is one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers of his generation.
