1859: Mathematician Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet dies. He made important contributions to number theory, analysis, and mechanics. Dirichlet was one of the first mathematicians to give the modern formal definition of a function.
1867: Pin Man escapes from the Carnevale Tenebre, finds sanctuary in the town of Periphery.
1868: Inventor, physician, chemist Charles Grafton Page dies. His work had a lasting impact on telegraphy and in the practice and politics of patenting scientific innovation, challenging the rising scientific elitism that maintained 'the scientific do not patent'.
1906: New sideshow at Carnevale Tenebre is "fronting all kinds of math crimes," says mathematician and alleged immortal John Havelock.
1833: Mathematician and academic Lazarus Immanuel Fuchs born. He will contribute important research in the field of linear differential equations. Fuchs will be the eponym of Fuchsian groups and functions, and the Picard–Fuchs equation.
1933: The New York Times The New York Times publishes a front-page account of a scientific paper on radio astronomy by Karl Guthe Jansky.
1943: Alleged incident of radio-gnomic contact with an extratemporal intelligence as part of the ENIAC ("Empty Noise Into Alien Communication") program.
2012: Theoretical physicist Mendel Sachs dies. His work included the proposal of a unified field theory that brings together the weak force, strong force, electromagnetism, and gravity.
2018: Creature 3, stolen last year by the Forbidden Ratio gang, is recovered with all of its data intact.
