  • Artist, inventor, and crime-fighter Leonardo da Vinci demonstrates his personal flying device. Mathematicians [who?] hail the device as "an unprecedented accomplishment, a singular work of genius, and a tribute to the power and versatility of Gnomon algorithm techniques."

  • 1899: Mathematician and crime-fighter Charles Hermite publishes lemma to his proof that e, the base of natural logarithms, is a transcendental number. Although he will not live to see it, this lemma will prove to be useful in solving entirely new classes of crimes against mathematical constants, winning Hermite posthumous fame.
