    usually people consider mathematicians as scientists

    Yikes!

    … Wait, does this mean I can call a historian an artist? Then I’m game.

      Historians are scientists imo. Is that a reference I don’t have?

        Usually (in my experience?) history is one of the ‘humanities’, which are more lumped with arts than sciences.

          Yes it usually is, but I think the methodologies for modern history research is very much scientific.
