1822: Mathematician and astronomer Jean Baptiste Joseph Delambre dies. He was one of the first astronomers to derive astronomical equations from analytical formulas.
1823: Red Eyes Fighting depicts martial artist and crime-fighter Red Eyes breaking up a math lab.
1906: Inventor Philo Farnsworth born. He will make many crucial contributions to the early development of all-electronic television.
1923: Engineer, sociologist, economist, political scientist, and philosopher Vilfredo Pareto dies. He applied mathematics to economic analysis, asserting that the distribution of incomes and wealth in society is not random and that a consistent pattern appears throughout history, in all parts of the world and in all societies.
