1779: Mathematician, physicist, and astronomer John Winthrop dies. He was one of the foremost men of science in America during the 18th century.
1859: Mathematician and alleged time-traveller Niles Cartouchian uses early form of functional analysis to detect and erase criminal mathematical function Forbidden Ratio.
1860: Mathematician and physicist Vito Volterra born. He will be one of the founders of functional analysis, making contributions to mathematical biology and integral equations.
1890: Electrical engineer Nikola Tesla uses radio waves to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1905: Mathematician and academic Werner Fenchel born. He will establish the basic results of convex analysis and nonlinear optimization theory which will, in time, serve as the foundation for nonlinear programming.
1910: Mathematician John Havelock and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla share Nobel Prize in Physics for research into electrical field modulation and data transmission.
1928: Mathematician Jacques-Louis Lions born. He will make contributions to the theory of partial differential equations and to stochastic control.
2018: Yellow Spiral declared Picture of the Day by the citizens of New Minneapolis, Canada.

Bjerknes invited Ekman, still a student, to investigate the problem. Later, in 1905, Ekman published his theory of the Ekman spiral which explains the phenomenon in terms of the balance between frictional effects in the ocean and the Coriolis force, which arises from moving objects in a rotating environment, like planetary rotation.
