The Art of Computer Programming Vols. 1-3

For the first time in more than 20 years Knuth has revised all three books to reflect more recent developments in the field. His revisions focus specifically on those areas where knowledge has converged since publication of the last editions on problems that have been solved on problems that have changed. In keeping with the authoritative character of these books all historical information about previous work in the field has been updated where necessary. Consistent with the authors reputation for painstaking perfection the rare technical errors in his work discovered by perceptive and demanding readers have all been corrected. Hundreds of new exercises have been added to raise new challenges. Knuths classic work has been widely acclaimed as one of the most influential works in the field of computer science. For the first time these books are available as a boxed three-volume set. The handsome slipcase makes this set an ideal gift for the recent computer science graduate or professional programmer. Offering a description of classical computer science this multi-volume work is a useful resource in programming theory and practice for students researchers and practitioners alike. For programmers it offers cookbook solutions to their day-to-day problems.
