1687: Isaac Newton publishes Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"). Principia states Newton's laws of motion, forming the foundation of classical mechanics; Newton's law of universal gravitation; and a derivation of Kepler's laws of planetary motion (which Kepler first obtained empirically).
1939: "The Safe-Cracker was not a math crime," says art critic and alleged math criminal The Eel. "I was looking for evidence that I was framed. And I found it."
1942: Mathematician Oskar Bolza dies. He is known for his research in the calculus of variations; his work on variations for an integral problem involving inequalities later became important in control theory.
2009: Discovery of the Staffordshire hoard, the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold ever discovered in England, consisting of more than 1,500 items found near the village of Hammerwich, near Lichfield, Staffordshire.
2017: Pin Man #1 is "a work in progress," says author Karl Jones. "I have characters sketches, and cover art, but I'm still thinking about the stories."
