Description

This multi-volume work is widely recognized as the definitive description of classical computer science. The first three volumes have for decades been an invaluable resource in programming theory and practice for students, researchers and practitioners alike.

Countless readers have spoken about the profound influence of Knuth’s work. Scientists have marveled at the beauty and elegance of his analysis, while ordinary programmers have successfully applied his “cookbook” solutions to their day-to-day problems. All have admired Knuth for the breadth, clarity, accuracy, and good hum-our of his books.

this is THE book for programmers

First, the price is very, very reasonable.
Second, if there are two things software is known for, those can be the facts that software is always delivered late and full of bugs. Knuth will not teach you best programming practices like design patterns ( don't except those form the books ) but he will teach you one thing : how to write software you're confident in and about. No matter how good is your software architecture if its performance is bad or the algorithms are wrongly implemented, yes...

well first few pages and i am speech less about the standard of the book

First of all many thanks Flipkart for delivering it in a single day less than 24 hours !!! booked it from office in night around 10pm and next day 2 pm book was in my hand .. awesome
coming to book
This is very very interesting book as it gives a very different perspective to look at algos .. if you are not comfortable with maths you mind is going to spin .. but hold on don't ignore it for that reason .. end of teh day you want to be a good programmer right ? so its worth putting the effort...

Read this book if you want to call yourself a computer scientist.

This book, as well as the other books in this series, forces you to think about algorithms and programming like you have never thought before. It is rigorous and leaves no aspect of algorithm analysis untouched. That said, you cannot read it in one day, or one month or probably even in an year. Reading Knuth is probably a lifelong pursuit, but rest assured, it is worth it. Read it if you want to become a real computer scientist, as opposed to the hordes of software jockeys who learn java and ...

Art of Computer (Scarry)

not very interesting but very helpful and resourceful book. Its almost been 3 months and I am still getting used to it. Don't buy if you can't spare minimum 20 minutes on daily basis...

Good book for Programmers

This book opens a whole new vista of knowledge. If you feel you are a really good programmer and you don't own this book I recommend you to read the books of this series. You realize you know little. The author has discussed every topic deeply and abstractly and added examples to make the materials lucid

Is there anything to say about this!!

This book is considered a masterpiece about computer programming, but definitely not for those who program casually. If programming is your religion, this book is from the mouth of God. Flipkart did an excellent job of sending this book in time (even to my remote state! Assam!). Flipkart is usually good in books.

status quo for algorithms

The greatest living thesis on algorithms. This is a timeless masterpiece in which the sum is always greater than the parts is made up of.

caution: it is from Pearson not Addison Wesley

i got the book a few days back. it is from Donald Knuth and i don't have to say anything about the standards. but i have to say that this book is not from Addison Wesley publishers. it is from Pearson.
Though most of the content is the same, the page numbers are different. All the errata corrections made by referencing the page numbers and the line number are based on the Addison Wesley edition.And it is mentioned in the Pearson edition- "see page iv" and there's nothing like page iv in it....

The best book for Computer Science students.

This book was seen during my student days. It is an amazing collection of mathematical problems and algorithms. It was costing a fortune at that time.It is a must for all computer Science graduates. I would be very happy if could purchase all the three volumes.

Bad paper quality

This is truly bad paper quality and binding for a book. Please either buy the international edition or the ebooks.
