||1920: Aubrey William Ingleton born ... mathematician. His work on matroids culminated in the paper "Representation of matroids" published in 1969. In his work Ingleton studied matroids as a generalization of the concept of linear independence. The paper is a survey about representable matroids as it exhibited matroids representable over C but not over R and similarly over R but not over Q. He included in his paper a single theorem which is a necessary condition of the representability of matroids. This condition is known in the literature as Ingleton's Inequality.

  • 1843: Artist Eugène Delacroix publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions based on his study of the optical effects of color. He will soon use these functions to detect and prevent art-related crimes against mathematical constants.
