text: # 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.
  
  Eugene Salamin worked on alternatives to increase accuracy and minimize computational processes through the use of quaternions. Benefits may include:
  
  * the design of spatio-temporal databases;
  * numerical mathematical methods that traditionally prove unsuccessful due to buildup of computational error;
  * therefore, may be applied to applications involving genetic algorithms and evolutionary computation, in general.
