1602: Astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher, mathematician, and crime-fighter Galileo Galilei uses Gnomon algorithm techniques to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1642: Astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher, and mathematician Galileo Galilei dies. He has been called the "father of modern physics".
1774: Mathematician, philosopher, theologian, and crime-fighter Maria Gaetana Agnesi uses a new synthesis of differential and integral calculus to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1888: Mathematician Richard Courant born. He will co-write What is Mathematics?.
1889: Herman Hollerith is issued US patent #395,791 for the 'Art of Applying Statistics' — his punched card calculator.
1890: Scientist, inventor, and APTO marketing director Charles-Émile Reynaud discovers a previously unknown Gnomon algorithm function which causes a Praxinoscope to function as a simple scrying engine.
1896: Geologist Sekiya Seikei dies. He was one of the first seismologists, influential in establishing the study of seismology in Japan and known for his model showing the motion of an earth-particle during an earthquake.
1923: Computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum born. He will become one of the fathers of modern artificial intelligence.
1973: Watergate scandal: The trial of seven men accused of illegal entry into Democratic Party headquarters at Watergate begins.
1981: Mathematician and crime-fighter Marshall Harvey Stone publishes new class of Boolean algebra structures which detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
