Looks like Knuth is making progress on volume 4 of The Art of Computer Programming. Another fascicle is available. More news here."

Donald Knuth has released another of his by now famous pre-fascicles to Volume 4 of his epic: Pre-fascicle 2c is all about 'Generating all Combinations' supplementing his pre-fascicles 2a and 2b. Furthermore he challenges us all to do more of his daunting exercises and report our success. He thinks we are way too lazy in this respect! So come on slashdot crowd: Do your homework and get the credit from the grandmaster himself!"

Donald E. Knuth has released "Pre-Fascicle 2b: Generating all permutations" from TAOCP Volume 4. It will be section 7.2.1.2 of the final work. Oh, and Volume 4 may now fill *four* subvolumes. Send in bugs, get checks for $2.56, tell the grandkids."

The first section of volume 4 of Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming is available for peer review (and the $2.56 finder's fee for every typo is still there :)." Knuth's series-in-progress made a lot of people's lists when it came to assembling the perfect collection of library books for computer science; now you have a chance to make the next one better. If you can find any mistakes, that is. slashdot.org

There are include lots of combinatorial puzzles in Volume 4 of The Art of Computer Programming
