Abstract
This chapter discusses two unexpected results by Strassen: his sub-cubic time for matrix product and his super-linear lower bound with Walter Baur on arithmetical circuit size. Possible connections are drawn to new results by Ryan and Virginia Williams involving graphs and matrices—this was a year before the latter’s improvement on Strassen’s matrix product time.
