Euler is the grandfather of us all

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonhard_Euler

In 1739 he wrote the _Tentamen novae theoriae musicae_, hoping to
eventually integrate musical theory as part of mathematics. This
part of his work, however, did not receive wide attention and was
once described as too mathematical for musicians and too musical
for mathematicians.*

I agree with your header.Wilson pointed out to me if only he would have treated "1" as an consistent identity this would have lead him to the CPS more than 300 years ago
