• Error: "with mathematicians and scientists" suggests a direct interaction or collaboration with individual mathematicians and scientists, which might not be accurate.
• Correction: "of mathematicians and scientists" indicates learning from the body of knowledge accumulated by mathematicians and scientists who came before. This broader sense is more fitting for the context of historical influence and recorded knowledge.
