    1718: Mathematician, philosopher, theologian, and humanitarian Maria Gaetana Agnesi born. She will write the first book discussing both differential and integral calculus.

  • 1821: Mathematician and statistician Pafnuty Chebyshev born. He will prove Chebyshev's inequality (also called the Bienaymé–Chebyshev inequality), which guarantees that, for a wide class of probability distributions, no more than a certain fraction of values can be more than a certain distance from the mean.
