Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: December 10, 1804 (Proleksis Encyclopedia; MacTutor History of Mathematics archive; BnF authorities; Croatian Encyclopedia; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; International Music Score Library Project; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; SNAC; Geni) or December 10, 1805 (www.accademiadellescienze.it).
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.
