1950 : Astronomer Leslie John Comrie, who had no claim to be a mathematician, "showed how to 'program' commercial machines for scientific computation; developed impeccable interpolation techniques; produced mathematical tables of the highest standards of accuracy and presentation; and, in effect, created computational science." For this work he was elected F.R.S. a few months before his death on this date.

1742 : Euler gives the first clear statement of the fundamental theorem of algebra; every algebraic equation of degree n has exactly n complex roots. Imprecise statements of the result were given earlier by Peter Rothe (1608) and Albert Girard (1629). Incorrect proofs were given by d'Alembert (1746), Euler (1749), Foncenex (1759), Lagrange (1772) and Laplace (1795), but a correct proof (and the name) had to await Gauss's doctoral dissertation of 1799, who discovered it in the fall of 1797 when he was 20.
