File:Harald Cramér.jpg|link=Harald Cramér (nonfiction)|1985: Mathematician and statistician [[Harald Cramér (nonfiction)|Harald Cramér]] dies. He helped found probability theory as a branch of mathematics, writing in 1926: "The probability concept should be introduced by a purely mathematical definition, from which its fundamental properties and the classical theorems are deduced by purely mathematical operations."
