1825: Children reprogram Jacquard loom to compute new family of Gnomon algorithm functions.
1834: Inventor and crime-fighter Charles Grafton Page builds new type of scrying engine.
1835: Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey secretly prints first edition of The Adulteration of Bergamot.
1864: Mathematician and philosopher George Boole dies. He worked in the fields of differential equations and algebraic logic, developing Boolean algebra and Boolean logic.
1865: Mathematician Jacques Hadamard born. He will make major contributions in number theory, complex function theory, differential geometry and partial differential equations.
1932: US Navy raises flock of Carnivorous dirigibles.
1955: Mathematician, physicist, and philosopher Hermann Weyl dies. He was one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century: his research has major significance for theoretical physics as well as purely mathematical disciplines including number theory.
2017: First use of Weyl semimetal crystals as a quantum time machine which detects and prevents crimes against mathematical constants.
