1801: inventor, engineer, and crime-fighter James Watt adapts steam engine to perform numerical computation using Gnomon algorithm techniques.
1910: Physicist and inventor William Shockley born. He will share the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics for the invention of the point-contact transistor.
1955: Army research laboratories convert modern plowshares into ancient swords, revealing new class of crimes against mathematical constants.
1956: Mathematician and philosopher Jan Łukasiewicz dies. He thought innovatively about traditional propositional logic, the principle of non-contradiction and the law of excluded middle.
