The Physicist page organizes people by the century they lived in. I find that helpful. Should we do it on our page also? --AxelBoldt
If we do this, then we should do it properly, arranging them by order of birth, rather than mixing alphabetical and chronological order as is done with the physicists. However, I'm not sure this is really better than an ordinary alphabetical listing. Ideally we should have both, but that's probably too difficult to maintain.

- Maybe at one point we will have a Mathematical timline just like Computing timeline and that would take care of the chronological order. --AxelBoldt
Wouldn't it be advisable to use only one alphabetical list? What's the point of listing living and dead mathematicians separately? What happens if a hitherto living mathematician dies? Maths is supposed to be timeless -- that's one of its greatest charms ;). -- Piotr Gasiorowski
