> a 1960s algorithm What must Gauss think when he hears this?! The divide-and-conquer Cooley–Tukey FFT "algorithm (and the general idea of an FFT) was popularized by a publication of Cooley and Tukey in 1965, but it was later discovered that those two authors had independently re-invented an algorithm known to Carl Friedrich Gauss around 1805 (and subsequently rediscovered several times in limited forms)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Fourier_transform#Cooley%E2%80%93Tukey_algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Fourier_transform#Cooley%...
