[math-fun] Karatsuba Multiplikation (history) question and Wikipedia

More (and worse) Wiki-weirdness: The equivalent of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karatsuba_algorithm in German is https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karazuba-Algorithmus which states that "Die Methode von Karazuba wurde zum Vorbild für das Teile-und-herrsche-Prinzip in der Informatik." which (roughly) translates as "Karatsuba's [multiplication] method became the prototype for the divide and conquer principle in computer science." ...and that is _exactly_ what his daughter wants the world to believe. Can anybody refute that statement? Thanks and best regards, jj
