[DMANET] (new book) The Essential Knuth

Dear fellow computer scientist,


Just appeared. The Essential Knuth

A book about Donald E. Knuth, a pioneer in algorithms (and much more).

How, when, and why did mathematics and computing converge for Knuth during the 1960s?
To what extent were Turing machines and Chomsky's work relevant to Knuth?

best wishes,
Edgar Daylight
