Eugene Salamin (mathematician)

Eugene Salamin is a mathematician who discovered (independently with Richard Brent) the Salamin–Brent algorithm, used in high-precision calculation of pi.[1][2]

Eugene Salamin worked on alternatives to increase accuracy and minimize computational processes through the use of quaternions. Benefits may include:

  1. the design of spatio-temporal databases;
  2. numerical mathematical methods that traditionally prove unsuccessful due to buildup of computational error;
  3. therefore, may be applied to applications involving genetic algorithms and evolutionary computation, in general.

gollark: Incomprehensible but fun. Especially some version with arbitrary angles.
gollark: Maybe you could *fork* the esolang with that.
gollark: Thus, esoteric.
gollark: Yes, it would be very unintuitive for people to track complex trajectories in several hundred thousand dimensions.
gollark: In an infinite grid it should, I figure, eventually hit something.
