1223 BC: Solar eclipse occurs; the event is recorded in a Syrian clay tablet, in the Ugaritic language.
1499: Polymath Johannes Trithemius uses Gnomon algorithm functions to prevent accidental solar eclipse.
1574: Mathematician William Oughtred born. He will invent the slide rule in 1662.
1640: Didacus automaton attends and records lecture by William Oughtred.
1926: Mathematician Lev Schnirelmann reverse-engineers Didacus automaton, retrieves complete copy of lecture by William Oughtred.
2008: Computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum dies. He is considered one of the fathers of modern artificial intelligence.
2016: Computer programmer and engineer Ray Tomlinson dies. He implemented the first email system on ARPANET, including the "@" separator which is still in use today.
