In 1960, Andrey Kolmogorov posed a seemingly impossible challenge at a seminar at Moscow State University: could there be a ...

Karatsuba’s “divide-and-conquer” multiplication algorithm has its roots in a method that Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) introduced involving the multiplication of complex numbers.

So when it comes to measuring the efficiency of a multiplication algorithm, it’s the small multiplications that concern us most. Let’s revisit our example, 25 × 63, with efficiency in mind. In order ...

This study examines how collective activity related to multiplication evolved over several class sessions in an elementary mathematics content course that was designed to foster prospective elementary ...

[3] An efficient common-multiplicand-multiplication method to the Montgomery algorithm for speeding up exponentiation. Information Sciences (2009). [4] A Fast Parallel Modular Exponentiation ...

Can artificial intelligence (AI) create its own algorithms to speed up matrix multiplication, one of machine learning’s most fundamental tasks? Today, in a paper published in Nature, DeepMind ...

Matrix multiplication is at the heart of many machine learning breakthroughs, and it just got faster—twice. Last week, DeepMind announced it discovered a more efficient way to perform matrix ...

In front of their peers, on March 12, the students competed against each other in a timed multiplication contest. Two days later, Gio and Darius, alongside students from Brinckerhoff Elementary ...
