Line 1: The '''Karatsuba''' [[multiplication algorithm]], a technique for quickly multiplying large numbers, was discovered by Anatolii Alexeevich Karatsuba in 1960 and published ~~together~~in the joint paper with Yu. Ofman in 1962. Its [[time complexity]] is [[Big O notation\|Θ]]<math>(n^{\log_23})</math>. This makes it faster than the [[long multiplication\|classical]] Θ(''n''<sup>2</sup>) algorithm (<math>\log_23 \approx 1.585</math>). ==Algorithm==
