Students in some local elementary schools are learning a completely different way of doing multiplication. It’s a technique that many parents can’t understand. It’s called lattice multiplication. The ...

Mathematicians have reportedly discovered a new way of multiplying two numbers together. The new technique is for really large numbers, and if it passes a peer-review, could be the fastest possible ...

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 ...
