1548: Mathematician and APTO field engineer Adam Ries publishes his groundbreaking textbook, which promotes the advantages of Arabic/Indian numerals over Roman numerals in a wide range of Gnomon algorithm applications, notably the detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants.
1772: Astronomer, philosopher, theologian, and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg dies.
1780: Adventurer Jørgen Jørgensen born. He will sail to Iceland, declaring the country independent from Denmark and pronouncing himself its ruler, intending to found a new republic following the United States of America and France.
1872: Mathematician, crime-fighter, and alleged time-traveller Niles Cartouchian uses time crystals (nonfiction) to track down and delete the criminal artificial intelligence Killer Poke.
1873: Mathematician and academic Tullio Levi-Civita born. Levi-Civita will gain fame for his work on absolute differential calculus (tensor calculus) and its applications to the theory of relativity, and make significant contributions in other areas.
1873: Physicist and priest Francesco Zantedeschi dies. Zantedeschi was among the first to recognize the marked absorption by the atmosphere of red, yellow, and green light. He also thought that he had detected, in 1838, a magnetic action on steel needles by ultraviolet light, anticipating later discoveries connecting light and magnetism.
1896: Mathematician Wilhelm Ackermann born. Ackermann will discover the Ackermann function, an important example in the theory of computation.
1944: Mathematician Grace Chisholm Young dies. Young contributed measurable functions to the Denjoy–Young–Saks theorem, which gives some possibilities for the Dini derivatives of a function that hold almost everywhere.
1952: Actor-cryptographer Niles Cartouchian premiers new short film about the Halting problem. Seen by few at first, it will gain fame over time, influencing a generation of mathematical crime-fighters.
1974: NASA's Mariner 10 becomes the first space probe to fly by Mercury.
1975: Mathematician, physicist, and APTO field engineer John Lighton Synge visits the Nested Radical coffeehouse in New Minneapolis, Canada, where he gives an impromptu lecture on his geometric approach to the general theory of relativity.
2016: Steganographic analysis of Stardust unexpectedly reveals "about eight hundred kilobytes" of previously unknown Gnomon algorithm functions.
