A new matrix multiplication record

In Chapter 5, we mentioned Strassen’s algorithm for matrix multiplication. Not many improvements have been made since 1969 when Strassen discovered how to multiply a \pair of 4 by 4 matrices with 49 multiplications - a reduction of 15 multiplications from the  basic definition. A further reduction by one multiplication was announced by two Austrian researchers at Johannes Kepler University Linz in October 2022.
