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.
