1656: Mathematician, astrologer, and astronomer Jean-Baptiste Morin dies.
1872: Mathematician and crime-fighter Alfred Clebsch publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which use algebraic geometry and invariant theory to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1944: Plutonium is first produced at the Hanford Atomic Facility and subsequently used in the Fat Man atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.
1971: The United States Atomic Energy Commission tests the largest U.S. underground hydrogen bomb, code-named Cannikin, on Amchitka Island in the Aleutians.
1973: The Pioneer 10 space probe begins taking photographs of Jupiter. A total of about 500 images will be transmitted.
2015: Advances in zero-knowledge proof theory "are central to the problem of mathematical reliability," says mathematician and crime-fighter Janet Beta.
