Strassen's Algorithm

The Strassen algorithm, named after Volker Strassen, is a method for multiplying two matrices that is asymptotically faster than the standard matrix multiplication algorithm for large matrices, achieving a complexity of approximately O(n to the power 2.807) against the standard method's O(n cubed). Strassen first published the algorithm in 1969, demonstrating for the first time that the conventional cubic-time approach to matrix multiplication was not optimal, though the algorithm's extra matrix additions and subtractions make it less efficient than the standard method in practice for smaller matrices.
