The Art of Computer Programming: Fascicle 2: Generating All Tuples and Permutations

The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4, Fascicle 2: Generating All Tuples and Permutations

At last, an answer to one of the most asked questions in computer science: when is Volume 4 of The Art of Computer Programming publishing?

• The first look at the eagerly anticipated Volume 4 of The Art of Computer Programming
• The definitive examination of the under-utilized, but surprisingly rich field of n-tuple generation and permutation
• Future classic material from one of the most famous names in computer science!

According to Webster's Dictionary, a fascicle is "one of the division of a book published in parts." This material represents a first look at material from the long-anticipated and much-discussed Volume 4 of Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming. Knuth's fascicle philosophy is as follows: "The material will first appear in betatest form as fascicles of approximately 128 pages each, issued approximately twice per year. These fascicles will represent my best attempt to write a comprehensive account, but computer science has grown to the point where I cannot hope to be an authority on all the material covered in these books. Therefore I'll need feedback from readers in order to prepare the official volumes later."
