Anatolii Alexeevitch Karatsuba (Russian: Анато́лий Алексе́евич Карацу́ба; Grozny, January 31, 1937 — Moscow, September 28, 2008) was a Russian mathematician, who authored the first fast multiplication method: the Karatsuba algorithm, a fast procedure for multiplying large numbers. Karatsuba's multiplication algorithm is an example of what is now termed a divide and conquer algorithm; it was subsequently surpassed in asymptotic performance by the Schönhage–Strassen algorithm.

The main research works of A. A. Karatsuba were published in more than 160 research papers and monographs.[1]
