1875: Gambling Den Fight wins Royal Society award for most exciting new illustration of the year.
1886: Mathematician and physicist G. I. Taylor born. He will make major contributions to fluid dynamics and wave theory.
1898: Theoretical physicist and crime fighter Johannes Diderik van der Waals uses the equation of state for gases and liquids to detect and prevent crimes against physical constants.
1917: Pioneering computer scientist and programmer Betty Holberton born. She will be one of the six original programmers of ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, and the inventor of breakpoints in computer debugging.
