In 1971, German mathematicians Schönhage and Strassen predicted a faster algorithm for multiplying large numbers, but it remained unproven for decades. Mathematicians from Australia and France have ...

1. Strassen's method is an important milestone in Computer Science history, largely launching the study of time complexity of algorithms. As the poster child example of a "divide and conquer" ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: From grade school onward, complex multiplication has been a headache. But an assistant professor from the University of New South Wales Sydney in ...
