| | Amazon.com: Books: The Art of Computer Programming, Volumes 1-3 Boxed Set |
| | The most important contents of Knuth's books for a modern computer science student is his description of the major programming structures such as the tree, the stack, the queue, and the list plus his examples on how to analyze algorithms. | | | So, Knuth is teaching us about algorithms which are logically based procedures, almost always involving repetition of the same action, and which can be formalized in languages which can then be fed into a computer to perform a function. | | | Knuth's multivolume work, widely recognized as the definitive description of classical computer science, is now available in an attractive, boxed set. |

| | Salon.com Technology The art of Don E. Knuth |
| | To them, Knuth, now professor emeritus of the art of computer programming at Stanford University, is irrelevant, abstruse and bothersome because he illustrates concepts in machine code, the lowest-level programming language and the hardest to read. | | | But when you consider that most of Knuth's work has been devoted to just that -- figuring out how much time things like computer programs take -- and the statement takes on new (and slightly disingenuous) meanings. | | | But modern keyboard jocks no longer worry about things like saving 11 microseconds in each iteration of a binary tree search (if they even know what a binary tree is). |

| | Donald E. Knuth : MyFonts |
| | Stanford professor Donald Knuth is the computer scientist’s computer scientist. | | | Unfortunately, despite input from type designers such as Hermann Zapf and others, upon whose recommendations Knuth made extensions to the program, few fonts have been made as meta-fonts; the main complaint is that it is very difficult to represent existing fonts as METAFONT programs. | | | The second of these is METAFONT, written by Knuth to provide fonts for TeX. Wanting a large number of type designs, all related stylistically, he designed METAFONT such that the font programmer can build in many variations, which a user of the font can vary to get the font needed. |
