In the 18th century, a Japanese mathematician named Seki Kowa invented a multiplication method known as the 'Vertical and Crosswise' method. In the 1950s, the Russian mathematician Anatoly Karatsuba discovered an algorithm for multiplication that is faster than the classic method. The fastest 2-digit multiplication algorithm is the 'Trachtenberg Speed System', which was developed by Jakow Trachtenberg in the 1940s.
