Selected Papers on the Analysis of Algorithms |
Donald Knuth's influence in computer science ranges from the invention of methods for translating and defining programming languages to the creation of the TeX and METAFONT systems for desktop publishing. His award-winning textbooks have become classics often credited for shaping the field, while his widely referenced scientific papers stand as developmental milestones over a wide range of topics. The present volume, the fourth in a series of his collected works, is devoted to Analysis of Algorithms, an important subfield of computer science that Knuth founded in the 1960s and still considers his main life's work. A thriving international discipline, Analysis of Algorithms, is the unifying theme underlying Knuth's well known books The Art of Computer Programming. More than thirty of the seminal papers that helped to shape this field are reprinted and updated in the present collection, together with historical material not previously published.
