The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 2: Seminumerical Algorithms (2nd Edition) Review by Yuanchyuan Sheu
Best Computer Science Books ever read
These are the best books in Computer Science that I have ever read. They are selected by the American Scientist as one of the twelve physical-science monographs of the twentieth century. Dr. Knuth pays attention to the very detail is easily seen by browsing the index of each book, where every auther of the reference in the book is given an English name and his/her name in his/her own language. I personally have never seen this happen in any of the books that I have ever read.
However, I also would suggest that this series are not for the faint of heart as the books get quite involved very quickly. And I believe that because Dr. Knuth is a mathematican, he probably cares about the beauty and correctness of the theories more than anything else. Therefore, for people looking for easy and readily usable examples, these books are entirely useless.
