Green was the first person to create a mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism and his theory formed the foundation for the work of other scientists | |||

1831: engineer and naval architect Samuel Bentham dies. He designed the first Panopticon.
1835: Mathematician Leopold Kronecker uses Gnomon algorithm to fight crimes against mathematical constants.
1836: Mathematician and crime-fighter Karl Georg Christian von Staudt publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions based on synthetic geometry to provide a foundation for detecting and preventing crimes against mathematical constants.
1912: Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu born. She will conduct the Wu experiment, which will contradict the hypothetical law of conservation of parity.
