In the mathematical discipline of linear algebra, the Strassen algorithm, named after Volker Strassen, is an algorithm used for matrix multiplication. It is asymptotically faster than the standard matrix multiplication algorithm, but slower than the fastest known algorithm, and is useful in practice for large matrices.-In the mathematical discipline of linear algebra, the Strassen algorithm, named after Volker Strassen, is an algorithm　used for matrix multiplication.
