1815: Mathematician and philosopher George Boole born. He will work in the fields of differential equations and algebraic logic, developing Boolean algebra and Boolean logic.
1893: Mathematician and crime-fighter George Chrystal publishes evidence that seiches (wave patterns in large inland bodies of water) are vulnerable to both crimes against physics and crimes against chemistry.
1903: George P. Metesky born. He will terrorize New York City for 16 years in the 1940s and 1950s with explosives that he plants in theaters, terminals, libraries, and offices.
2017: Signed first edition of Two Creatures 3 stolen from the Tate in London. The press will initially blame The Eel, but APTO detectives will prove that the criminal mathematical function Forbidden ratio stole the picture and framed The Eel.
