Anatoly Alexeevitch Karatsuba (Russian: Анато́лий Алексе́евич Карацу́ба; Grozny, Soviet Union, January 31, 1937 – Moscow, Russia, September 28, 2008[1]) was a Russian mathematician working in the field of analytic number theory, p-adic numbers and Dirichlet series.
For most of his student and professional life he was associated with the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University, defending a D.Sc. there entitled "The method of trigonometric sums and intermediate value theorems" in 1966.[2] He later held a position at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences.[2]
His textbook Foundations of analytic number theory went to two editions, 1975 and 1983.[2]
The Karatsuba algorithm is the earliest known divide and conquer algorithm for multiplication and lives on as a special case of its direct generalization, the Toom–Cook algorithm.[3]
The main research works of Anatoly Karatsuba were published in more than 160 research papers and monographs.[4]
