History
Volker Strassen published the Strassen algorithm in 1969. Although his algorithm is only slightly faster than the standard algorithm for matrix multiplication, he was the first to point out that the standard approach is not optimal. His paper started the search for even faster algorithms such as the more complex Coppersmith–Winograd algorithm published in 1987.
