Nope - but more like his field of study.

Descartes?

Nope, about the right period though (I think) and the right nationality.

Closer - you might say that he took over where Descartes left off.

Johannes Kepler?

Nope. Descartes is probably the closest yet, at least in respect to a shared philosophical perspective and their other field of study.

Leibniz? Thinking about the calculus connection here.

Correct!

Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.

or,

Music is a secret arithmetical exercise and the person who indulges in it does not realize that he is manipulating numbers.

Gottfried Leibniz

He was a contemporary of Bach and Newton (who's 'clockwork model' of the universe Einstein replaced with Relativity). Descartes laid the mathematical foundations for Newton and Leibniz's separate and independent discoveries of calculus.

It was fairly stupid of me to post that, as: a) I'm just about to shut down for the night, and b) I haven't got any kind of question prepared. In the unlikely event that I'm right, you'll just have to talk amongst yourselves until I get back.

Funny how as you get older, all the more often you look at this kind of question and think to yourself "I know this, I definitely know this" ... when less of a lie would be to think "I knew this I definitely knew this" .... only to be confronted with the answer and have to admit to yourself, that you neither know, nor knew, but quickly spin a rationalisation around how the question was phrased which therefore validates your knowness/knewness.
.. but .. I know/knew this! and if I can offer any help to others who have the answer trapped in a dark corner of their brain in a different time zone, it has either something to do with DSP, or a commonly linked/referred post on music theory .... but I may be wrong ... I am rather old, and when I claim I read it recently, errr I mean kinda recently

EDIT....
Oh I see someone got it ... how slow am I? ... I can humbly confirm that I neither knew nor know it was Liebniz ... tho I'm sure I know ... or rather, knew the site where he was quoted tho I obviously skimmed over the source of the quote in order to maintain engagement with the subject matter at the heart of my reason for opening up said ( yet barely remembered ) page.

Anyway, lesson learned, nothing but words from this old bugger ... sorry to bore you, just write down the word tattiemannie in your fliofax, and write a note next to it ... "team line up and statistics pertaining to Scotland World Cup 1974"
