Donald Knuth Bücher

Das Buch Arithmetik ist eine Übersetzung des vierten Kapitels der legendären Werkreihe „The Art of Computer Programming“ von Donald E. Knuth in der neuesten Fassung. Es handelt sich um eine umfangreiche Einführung in die Computeralgebra, die den neuesten Stand der Forschung berücksichtigt. Donald E. Knuth versteht es, die Algorithmen didaktisch sehr geschickt und ohne Kompromisse bei der Strenge aufzubereiten. Das Buch enthält außerdem Hunderte von Aufgaben verschiedener Schwierigkeitsgrade mit Lösungen. Der Übersetzer, Prof. Dr. R. Loos, lehrt an der Universität Tübingen.

To begin the fourth and later volume of the set, Knuth has created a series of small books called fascicles, which publish at regular intervals as they are ready. Each fascicle encompasses a section or more of wholly new material. Ultimately, the content of the fascicles will be rolled up into the comprehensive, final version of each volume.

The third volume comprises the most comprehensive survey of classical computer techniques for sorting and searching. It extends the treatment of data structures in Volume I to consider both large and small databases and internal and external memories.

The bible of programming theory and practice is being updated for the first time in more than 20 years. The book is concerned with information structures--the representation of information within a computer, the structural interrelations between data elements and how to work with them efficiently, and applications to simulation, numerical methods and software design

Offers an introduction to the field of seminumerical algorithms, with separate chapters on random numbers and arithmetic. This book summarizes the major paradigms and basic theory of such algorithms, thereby providing a comprehensive interface between computer programming and numerical analysis, and a fresh treatment of random number generators.
