Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: May 9, 1746 (MacTutor History of Mathematics archive; GeneaStar; Monge, Gaspard, Comte de Péluse; Integrated Authority File; Sycomore) or May 10, 1746 (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.
