The Karatsuba algorithm is a fast multiplication algorithm.
 It was discovered by Anatoly Karatsuba in 1960 and published in 1962.
 It reduces the multiplication of two "n"-digit numbers to at most formula_1 single-digit multiplications in general (and exactly formula_2 when "n" is a power of 2).
 It is therefore faster than the classical algorithm, which requires "n" single-digit products.
 For example, the Karatsuba algorithm requires 3 = 59,049 single-digit multiplications to multiply two 1024-digit numbers ("n" = 1024 = 2), whereas the classical algorithm requires (2) = 1,048,576.
