We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Ernst Kummer — Kummer taught at a gymnasium before training army officers, not after; the timeline is reversed.
Ernst Kummer — Kummer did not inspire Leopold Kronecker's mathematical career while teaching at a gymnasium; Kronecker was a student of Kummer's at the University of Berlin, not at the gymnasium.
François Viète — His mother was the aunt of magistrate Barnabé Brisson
Hermann Minkowski — The claim that Minkowski was awarded the Mathematics Prize of the French Academy of Sciences in 1883 at age 18, alone, is inaccurate; he shared the Grand Prix des Sciences Mathématiques with Henry Smith in 1883, and Smith was awarded posthumously.
James Gregory (mathematician) — Gregory's son James became Professor of Mathematics at the University of St Andrews, not Edinburgh.
