Mathematicians? Ha. There are paleonumerologists in the Sumerset Isles who can count to sixteen infinities using number systems true only in a previous kalpa.
Scientists? Ho-ho, I laugh at your scientists. There is little of Nirni to grasp that does not require peeling back its surface and peering into the dark-that-was before the Convention.
For what is the record of petty phenomena in the face of raging totem-gods, meme-eating immortal vampire snakemen, and myths that shape the world?

Well I'm wondering if anybody in Tamriel studies the human body and all its workings. I think it was Leonardo the painter in our world who started finding all these things of human anatomy by using cadavers as models. Correct me if I'm wrong.
And on a very off topic point, studying human anatomy or creature anatomy would tremendously aid in the usage of offensive magic. i.e. Using Restoration spells to increase blood pressure or using a Telekinesis spell to close shut the atrioventricular (AV) valves in the heart so that no blood would flow out or in of the heart. In studying biology and anatomy, these things would greatly help with magic. But then NPCs are just computer models that look like a bunch of lego blocks stacked together. But you get the point. hehe
