A recent paper set the fastest record for multiplying two matrices. But it also marks the end of the line for a method researchers have relied on for decades to make improvements. For computer ...

New lower values for p get discovered all the time (maybe once a year). It is conjectured that they will approach 2.0 without ever getting quite to it. Somehow Quanta Mag heard about the new result ...

Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

The matrix multiplication infix operator (*) produces a new matrix by performing matrix multiplication. The first matrix must have the same number of columns as the second matrix has rows. The new ...
