1596: Mathematician and philosopher René Descartes born. Descartes will be remembered as the father of modern Western philosophy.
1730: Mathematician and theorist Étienne Bézout born. Bezout's Théorie générale des équations algébriques will contain much new and valuable matter on the theory of elimination and symmetrical functions of the roots of an equation.
1877: Mathematician and philosopher Antoine Augustin Cournot dies. Cournot introduced the ideas of functions and probability into economic analysis.
1967: Mathematician and APTO field engineer Robin Farquharson discovers new class of Gnomon algorithm function which detect and prevent crimes against voting system.
1970: The spacecraft Explorer 1 re-enters the Earth's atmosphere after 12 years in orbit. Explorer 1 was the first satellite launched by the United States.
2001: Physicist and academic Clifford Shull dies. Shull shared the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics with Bertram Brockhouse for the development of the neutron scattering technique.
2003: Mathematician and academic Harold Scott MacDonald Coxeter dies. Coxeter was one of the greatest geometers of the 20th century.
2004: Mathematician Tan Lei and crime-fighter publishes study of complex dynamics and functions of complex numbers with applications in the detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants.
