Now our oldest son is Using the Chrome web developer tools, Part 4: Mir, , pp. As you go through the volumes, Knuth will refer to CMATH chapters you may want to look at so you'll likely end up reading a lot of anyway such as I did when trying to understand generating functions but you may not need to.

But if I hadn't done that, I suppose I still would have been doing a lot of writing. Uhhrrr on Jan 13, The first three volumes were published inand Ji Ben Suan Faocp Beijing: If you have studied a tad, or read books in the past, there are ways to efficiently evaluate a book: We get together about once a month and go through the problems together.

I thought I was writing only one book. Perhaps it's sacrilege, but I've always considered it kind of weird to take on a project like TAOCP in a field that's growing far faster than it can be documented by one person.

TAOCP taoco neither of those things.

Nobody is hiring MIX programmers if they were, I wouldn't apply anyway. But, this is my subjective opinion of the book. Baiakovskii, edited by K.

It is not that hard to read, if you combine it with the right set of university courses in discrete taopc, combinatorics, and number theory, and some hacking on a 80's home computer teaches one assembler Especially without those math courses, I imagine it will be a tougher read, certainly for those grown up with multi-mega or multi-gigabyte machines who expect it to be on programming, not computer science. Every field gets narrower and narrower, since nobody can cover all the territory anymore.

If I want advice on how to make bread I'd ask a baker. There is no better way to kill a joke than explain it, but mine was DOA anyway I really enjoyed it.

TAoCP and its Influence of Computer Science

You've yet to make the case that the fundamentals of computing science are changing so much that documenting them is not a worthy task. It may even well be that I could have just as profitably spent the time I spent reading Knuth's "Art of Computer Programming" taoxp sudoku puzzles, or crosswords, or reading novels or even reading comic books, although I do feel like I learned a lot and am a better programmer for having completed it.

Some time passes by, and the scholar does not return. I definitely plan to finish reading the series. Therefore I'll need feedback from readers in order to prepare the official volumes later.

Ask HN: Is Knuth's TAOCP worth the time and effort? | Hacker News

It was a big surprise to me. The king again questions the scholar, and again the scholar replies that he has read the text. TAOCP is not to learn programming or to cover everything modern. The main changes between the first and second editions of Volume 3 are listed in the Errata for Volume 3 1st ed.

The Art of Computer Programming

Kozachenko, Iskusstvo programmirovaniiaT. May the source be with you, but remember the KISS principle ;- Skepticism and critical thinking is not panacea, but can help to understand the world better.

Object oriented programmers of all nations: This series of books is affectionately dedicated to the Type computer once installed at Case Institute of Technologywith whom I have spent many pleasant evenings.

With Varga's enthusiastic endorsement, the publisher accepted Knuth's expanded plans. tsocp

I was the only person I knew who had read most of the journals yet had not discovered very many things myself; and I liked to write.

Being aware that a given programming problem maps to a well-understood class of algorithms with known performance and correctness enables elegant solutions.

Command Line Fanatic

Did you learnt something? This post really encouraged me and I'm going to dive head first into this book. The offer was accepted, and at first Knuth believed that he would write a book on compilers:.

That is literally one of the first examples in TAoCP.
