Multiplication Hits the Speed Limit: A problem "around since antiquity" may have been resolved by a new algorithm.

The article discusses the development of an algorithm for whole number multiplication that may be the fastest such algorithm, developed by mathematics researchers Joris van der Hooven and David Harvey. According to the article, the algorithm involves the rounding of complex numbers within Fourier an...

      ab: The article discusses the development of an algorithm for whole number multiplication that may be the fastest such algorithm, developed by mathematics researchers Joris van der Hooven and David Harvey. According to the article, the algorithm involves the rounding of complex numbers within Fourier analysis in order to achieve precision and speed.
