||1922: André Néron born ... mathematician at the Université de Poitiers who worked on elliptic curves and Abelian varieties. He discovered the Néron minimal model of an elliptic curve or abelian variety, the Néron differential, the Néron–Severi group, the Néron–Ogg–Shafarevich criterion, the local height and Néron–Tate height of rational points on an Abelian variety over a discrete valuation ring or Dedekind domain.

||1958: Jenő Egerváry commits suicide ... mathematician. Egerváry generalized König's theorem to the case of weighted graphs.[5] This contribution was translated and published in 1955 by Harold W. Kuhn,[6] who also showed how to apply Kőnig's and Egerváry's method to solve the assignment problem; the resulting algorithm has since been known as the "Hungarian method". Pic.
