Summary: Knuth is Analysis of Algorithms
Comment: Befor Donald Ervin Knuth, there was no such thing as the Analysis of Algorithms. He is a visionary in this field, and these selected papers are a testomony to his greatness in this field.
Rating: 3
Summary: Not as Approachable as Knuth's Other Writings
Comment: To a reader interested in the analysis of algorithms, this book doubtlessly contains a number of very thorough analyses, with some interesting correspondence about the origin of complexity O()-notation and the term "NP-hard" thrown in.
As a reader more interested in Knuth's work in general, I must admit that, despite having advanced degrees in CS and a quite decent math education, I found myself unable to follow the heavy mathematics employed, and ultimately, the problems analyzed were not interesting enough to me to make me spend the effort to follow it. One of the chapters was titled "A Trivial Algorithm Whose Analysis Isn't", and this probably sums up why I'm not entirely enthusiastic about this book and about the field of algorithm analysis in general.
Knuth wouldn't be Knuth if he didn't throw some lighter material in as well, and chapter 2, "The Dangers of Computer Science Theory", was quite amusing.
Rating: 5
Summary: Knuth++
Comment: Professor Knuth collects a charming and valuable set of papers into one terrific place. Don't miss his satirical "anti- Science" article "The Dangers of Computer Science", Chapter two, first presented in 1971.
