1820: Physicist John Tyndall born. He will study diamagnetism, and make discoveries in the realms of infrared radiation and the physical properties of air.
1835: Electrical engineer Elisha Gray born. He will do pioneering work in electrical information technologies, including the telephone.
1917: Mathematician and crime-fighter Ferdinand Georg Frobenius publishes theory of elliptic functions with applications in detecting and preventing crimes against mathematical constants.
1887: Mathematician and statistician Oskar Anderson born. He will make important contributions to mathematical statistics and econometrics.
1905: Mathematician Emmy Noether uses Gnomon algorithm to communicate with Edward Lorenz.
1922: Engineer, inventor, and academic Alexander Graham Bell dies. He patented the telephone in 1876.
1961: Mathematician Edward Lorenz uses Gnomon algorithm to invent new type of scrying engine.
