This Guy Just Found a Faster Way to Multiply

Maybe if you're a computer but it doesn't factor down to yours and mine math abilities............Title is misleading.

But can you build a interstellar space drive with it like you can with Italian Bistro math?

Vedic math figured out how to multiply and divide large numbers 1000+ years ago. In the early 1900’s a fella who taught himself math was able to count to infinity...his answer -(1/12).

That answer shows up in quantum mechanics and string theory.

Hasn’t this been done before. Thinking about the method by “ the Russian Jewish engineer Jakow Trachtenberg in order to keep his mind occupied while being in a Nazi concentration camp” over 70 years ago.

Multiplication is just convolution of strings of digits.

This same method came to me in 10th grade in 1972, in an epiphany. I showed my teacher, but we were entering the period of calculators so it was useless.

Is it faster than The Trachtenberg Speed of speed math? Remember all those ads in magazines back in the 1960s?

The fastest multiplication is done by illegals.

Too bad he doesn’t demonstrate it. We’d all like to see how fast it works.

Except computers don’t multiply digit by digit.
