I am suprised that I haven't heard this bit of history before and am hopeful that we can find some ancient clay tablet system that also calculates the DFT

"Gauss and the History of the Fast Fourier Transform"
Michael T. Heideman, Don H. Johnson, c. Sidney Burrus
OCTOBER 1984 IEEE ASSP MAGAZINE
CONCLUSION Although it appears that the discrete Fourier transform should really have been named after Gauss, it is obviously not practical to rename it. However, the term "GaussFourier transform (GFT),' was coined by Hope [45] in 1965, and the term "discrete Gauss transform (DGT)" has also been previously used [46]. T. S. Huang was unknowingly accurate when he satirically remarked in 1971 that the FFT was Gauss' 1001st algorithm [47].

"In nomadic cultures, the preeminent musical figure is the bard: a solo performer of oral poetry who typically accompanies himself or herself — for women have played an important role in the Inner Asian bardic tradition — on a strummed lute with silk or gut strings."

Sharing album art for Omni Plus Ultra because you don't need #AI to make #Art ! I am not a "visual artist", but I taught myself to make collages like this using #Gimp and #publicdomain images!

Check out @publicdomainrev.bsky.social for inspiration!

Album cover for Omni Plus Ultra. A field of stars in the background, framed in gold with gold lettering for "Omni Plus Ultra". A floating sphere with the sun, moon and a two-headed winged figure holding a sphere that is a recursive image of the large floating sphere.

Tools of the trade

Sometimes its easier just to learn to play the instrument than figure out how to notate extended techniques effectively
