At the end of , these books were named among the best twelve physical-science monographs of the century by American Scientist , along with: Dirac on quantum mechanics, Einstein on relativity, Mandelbrot on fractals, Pauling on the chemical bond, Russell and Whitehead on foundations of mathematics, von Neumann and Morgenstern on game theory, Wiener on cybernetics, Woodward and Hoffmann on orbital symmetry, Feynman on quantum electrodynamics, Smith on the search for structure, and Einstein's collected papers.
These volumes are now available also in portable electronic form, using PDF format prepared by the experts at Mathematical Sciences Publishers. Special care has been taken to make the search feature work well. Thousands of useful "clickable" cross-references are also provided — from exercises to their answers and back, from the index to the text, from the text to important tables and figures, etc.
Warning: Unfortunately, however, non-PDF versions have also appeared, against my recommendations, and those versions are frankly quite awful. A great deal of expertise and care is necessary to do the job right. If you have been misled into purchasing one of these inferior versions for example, a Kindle edition , the publishers have told me that they will replace your copy with the PDF edition that I have personally approved.
The ePUB format may be just as bad; I really don't want to know, and I am really sorry that it was released. Please do not tell me about errors that you find in a non-PDF eBook; such mistakes should be reported directly to the publisher. The authorized PDF versions can be purchased at www. If you have purchased a different version of the eBook, and can provide proof of purchase of that eBook, you can obtain a gratis PDF verson by sending email and proof of purchase to taocp pearson.

In the second fasci- Donald Knuth is well known as the author of a cle, Knuth considers the generation of n-tuples and per- three volume encyclopedic reference text on algorith- mutations [5]. The third fascicle deals with generating mic computer science [1—3].
The Art of Computer Pro- combinations and integer and set partitions [6]. Knuth pays erage of combinatorial generation in volume 4A with fanatic attention to bibliographic and technical details, a section on the generation of trees. A second section gives a history of algorithms Knuth originally planned to complete the series with for generating combinatorial objects. This section in- four more volumes, on combinatorial algorithms, syn- cludes many references to material in fascicles 2 and tactical algorithms, the theory of languages, and com- 3.
Unfortunately other projects, including the TeX In Section 7. Knuth also wanted generating all trees on n nodes. A key idea is the cor- to revise the first three volumes to reflect progress made respondence between strings of properly nested paren- during the intervening thirty years.
The number of properly nested strings Knuth completed revisions to the first three volumes of of parentheses of length 2n and the number of trees on the series and began work on the fourth volume. Volume 4, Combi- natorial Algorithms, is now projected as three physical Although this solves the problem of counting the volumes, with volume 4A on enumeration and back- number of trees on n nodes, generating all of the trees tracking, 4B on graph and network algorithms, and 4C in a systematic fashion is a different problem.
Drafts of Knuth discusses algorithms for generating all trees the new material are being released in sections, called on n nodes in lexicographic order, determining where fascicles, of about pages each. In addition to algorithms used by Knuth to describe low level algorithms [4]. Thus fascicles 2, 3, and 4 can be read spanning trees on a given graph. Much of the mate- independently of [4]. What makes Counting families of combinatorial objects such as this section particularly interesting is the collection of permutations and combinations is an important topic exercises that complete the section.
