In this video, we delve into the fascinating world of big number multiplication and explore how computers perform this task ...

But Anatoly Karatsuba defied the odds, providing a breakthrough with what would come to be known as Karatsuba's Algorithm,a faster, more efficient way to multiply large numbers that would ...

For such enormous numbers, even Karatsuba's algorithm is too slow. A real breakthrough came in 1971 with the work of the German mathematicians Arnold Schönhage and Volker Strassen.

To multiply two numbers by hand take a few steps but it’s something we’re taught in school. When dealing with big numbers, really big numbers, we need to a quicker way to do things.
