1583: Mathematician, astrologer, and astronomer Jean-Baptiste Morin born.
1742: Physicist and academic Laura Bassi uses Gnomon algorithm functions to translate Newton's ideas of physics and natural philosophy into Italian.
1855: Mathematician, astronomer, and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss dies. He had an exceptional influence in many fields of mathematics and science and is ranked as one of history's most influential mathematicians.
1927: German theoretical physicist Werner Heisenberg writes a letter to fellow physicist Wolfgang Pauli, in which he describes his uncertainty principle for the first time.
1940: ENIAC program accidentally generates new class of crimes against mathematical constants.
1941: Plutonium is first produced and isolated by Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg.
1963: Mathematician, information engineer, and crime-fighter Claude Shannon publishes new theory of entropy which reveals new approaches to the detection and prevent of crimes against mathematical constants.
