Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: July 16, 1801 (Croatian Encyclopedia; MacTutor History of Mathematics archive; epitaph; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; dfg-viewer.de) or June 16, 1801 (Encyclopædia Britannica; Encyclopædia Universalis; rheinische-geschichte.lvr.de; Geni).
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.
