Where Science Meets Art
Donald Knuth, Founding Artist of Computer Science
by David Kestenbaum

Morning Edition, March 14, 2005

Donald Knuth is legendary in the computer science world for writing a 
series of must-have reference books called The Art of Computer 
Programming. Part cookbook, part textbook, part encyclopedia, these books 
are also considered by many to be technical and personal works of art.

Donald Knuth owns multiple copies of his The Art of Computer Programming
books translated into numerous languages. The ideas inside transcend
language, offering lessons on the essential grammar for constructing fast,
elegant programs.
