1632: Clockmaker and mathematician Jost Bürgi dies. He was recognized during his own lifetime as one of the most excellent mechanical engineers of his generation.
1638: Astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks uses Gnomon algorithm functions to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1869: Physicist, mathematician, and crime-fighter Sir George Stokes, 1st Baronet uses the Navier–Stokes equations to defeat aquatic cryptic and alleged supervillain Neptune Slaughter in single combat.
1929: Physicist and academic Rudolf Mössbauer born. He will be awarded the 1961 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery (1957) of recoilless nuclear resonance fluorescence (now known as the Mössbauer effect), the basis for Mössbauer spectroscopy.
