The distributive law known from arithmetics is one of the best tools for a computer scientist to grapple with the intractable nature of many applications. So, efficient algorithms have been developed for the computation of Fourier and Hadamard transforms, Bayesian networks, database queries, decoding problems and many more. The fact that they all benefit from the same technique suggests that a...
