In a similar case Cooley and Tukey should also never have been given the Turing Award prize for Fast Fourier Transform, because Gauss apparently invented it already in 1805: https://www.cis.rit.edu/class/simg716/Gauss_History_FFT.pdf https://www.cis.rit.edu/class/simg716/Gauss_History_FFT.pdf But Gauss wrote his papers in neo-Latin and a very difficult notation so his findings went largely unnoticed. Also computers weren't available in the 19th century.
