Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1707 (Trove; NUKAT; Grace's Guide; Open Library; National Library of Portugal; Oxford Dictionary of National Biography; BnF authorities; Early Modern Letters Online; Trinity College Library; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Faceted Application of Subject Terminology; Integrated Authority File) or April 16, 1706 (MacTutor History of Mathematics archive).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
