Dmitri Mendeleev was a Mathematical Chemistry mathematician born in 1834. He organised all matter using numbers — and predicted elements no one had seen yet.
Periodic table — first mathematically ordered classification of matter. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 19th century, the golden age of mathematical rigour.
The impact is still felt today. The periodic table predicted elements before they were discovered using number patterns.
