A new paper claims the theoretical speed limit for matrix multiplication is much lower than anyone had proven. It hasn’t been ...

Four thousand years ago, the Babylonians invented multiplication. Last month, mathematicians perfected it. On March 18, two researchers described the fastest method ever discovered for multiplying two ...

Matrix multiplication is one of the most basic algebraic operations. Since Strassen's surprising breakthrough algorithm from 1969, which showed that matrices can be multiplied faster than the most ...

Multiplying two matrices together is fundamental and almost elementary. How fast you can do the job is both practically and theoretically important. The fastest known algorithm has just been beaten - ...
