TY - BOOK AU - Knuth, Donald Ervin TI - The art of computer programming: combinatorial algorithms, part I SN - 9780201038040 AV - QA 76.6 .K58 2011 PY - 2011/// CY - Boston, Massachusetts PB - Addision-Wesley Publishing Company KW - ELECTRONIC DIGITAL COMPUTERS -- PROGRAMMING N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index; Chapter 7-Combinatorial Searching -- Answers to Exercises -- Appendixes -- Index and Glossary N2 - The book is Volume 4A, because Volume 4 has itself become a multivolume undertaking. Combinatorial searching is a rich and important topic, and Knuth has too much to say about it that is new, interesting, and useful to fit into a single volume, or two, or maybe even three. This book alone includes approximately 1500 exercises, with answers for self-study, plus hundreds of useful facts that cannot be found in any other publication. Volume 4A surely belongs beside the first three volumes of this classic work in every serious programmer’s library ER -
