I had a lot of fun investigating fast ways to generate sine waves:

This was part of my presentation at the Signal Processing Summit and DSP Online Conference presentation on simulating the tides by adding up sine waves.
In part I of this two-part series we covered lookup tables and simple devices with at most a handful of moving parts. This time we’ll pick up in the 17th centuries, when computing devices started to became far more complex and the groundwork for later theoretical work began to be laid. Pascal We enter the era of mechanical calculators in 1642 when Pascal invented a machine, charmingly called the pascaline, which could perform addition and subtraction:
If birds are getting renamed, why can't we rename Lemma and Theorems?
Is there anything in the works I am unaware of?
I throw out mathober prompts all the time when I currate the list that have peoples names.
`Although the term "matrix" was introduced into mathematical literature by James Joseph Sylvester in 1850, the credit for founding the theory of matrices must be given to Arthur Cayley, since he published the first expository articles on the subject. ... Cayley's introductory paper in matrix theory was written in French and published in a German periodical [in 1855]`
