1522: Mathematician Johannes Stöffler uses Gnomon algorithm functions to prevent certain classes of Crimes against mathematical constants.
1629: Mathematician Pierre de Fermat uses scrying engine techniques to attend lecture by Maria Gaetana Agnesi.
1718: Mathematician, philosopher, theologian, and humanitarian Maria Gaetana Agnesi born. She will write the first book discussing both differential and integral calculus.
