Description

The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 2: Seminumerical Algorithms (2nd Edition)

Donald E. Knuth Addison‑Wesley, 1981 ISBN 0201038226 / 9780201038224 Language: English

Book Description

The second volume of Knuth's monumental Art of Computer Programming, devoted to the theory and implementation of seminumerical algorithms. Topics include random number generation, arithmetic algorithms, number‑theoretic methods, and the mathematical analysis underlying efficient computation. Knuth's rigorous, encyclopedic treatment has made this series the definitive reference for algorithmic theory, numerical methods, and the mathematical foundations of computer science. From the Hassan Aït‑Kaci technical library, reflecting his deep engagement with formal computation, algorithmic reasoning, and the mathematical structures underlying programming.
