pstrongThe Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4A Combinatorial Algorithms, Part 1strongp pKnuth's multivolume analysis of algorithms is widely recognized as the definitive description of classical computer science. The first three volumes of this work have long comprised a unique and invaluable resource in programming theory and practice. Scientists have marveled at the beauty and elegance of Knuth's analysis, while practicing programmers have successfully applied his cookbook solutions to their day-to-day problems.p pemThe level of these first three volumes has remained so high, and they have displayed so wide and deep a familiarity with the art of computer programming, that a sufficient review of future volumes could almost be Knuth, Volume n has been published. emp p-emData Processing Digestemp pKnuth, Volume n has been published, where n 4A.p pemIn this long-awaited new volume, the old master turns his attention to some of his favorite topics in broadword computation and combinat
