File:Canterbury_scrying_engine.jpg|link=Canterbury scrying engine|1303: [[Canterbury scrying engine]] used to detect and expose [[crimes against mathematical constants]].
 
File:Filippo Mazzei.jpg|link=Philip Mazzei (nonfiction)|1816: Physician and activist [[Filippo Mazzei (nonfiction)|Filippo Mazzei]] dies. He acted as an agent to purchase arms for Virginia during the American Revolutionary War.
File:Hasegawa Tohaku - Pine Trees (Shōrin-zu byōbu) - left hand screen.jpg|link=Hasegawa Tōhaku (nonfiction)|1610: Painter [[Hasegawa Tōhaku (nonfiction)|Hasegawa Tōhaku]] dies.  Hasegawa Tōhaku founded the Hasegawa school and one of the great painters of the Azuchi–Momoyama period (1573-1603).

File:Louis de Broglie.jpg|link=Louis de Broglie (nonfiction)|1987: Physicist and academic [[Louis de Broglie (nonfiction)|Louis de Broglie]] dies.  He postulated the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter has wave properties. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1929, after the wave-like behavior of matter was first experimentally demonstrated in 1927.
File:Filippo Mazzei.jpg|link=Filippo Mazzei (nonfiction)|1816: Physician and activist [[Filippo Mazzei (nonfiction)|Filippo Mazzei]] dies. Mazzei acted as an arms purchasing agent for Virginia during the American Revolutionary War.

File:Emil_Wiechert.jpg|link=Emil Wiechert (nonfiction)|1928: Physicist and geophysicist [[Emil Wiechert (nonfiction)|Emil Wiechert]] dies. Wiechert made contributions to both fields, including presenting the first verifiable model of a layered structure of the Earth, and being among the first to discover the electron.
 
File:Gaston_Julia.jpg|link=Gaston Julia (nonfiction)|1978: Mathematician [[Gaston Julia (nonfiction)|Gaston Maurice Julia]] dies. Julia devised the formula for the Julia set, which consists of values such that an arbitrarily small perturbation can cause drastic changes in the sequence of iterated function values. Julia's work later proved foundational to chaos theory.
