Donald E.Knuth, born in Wisconsin in 1938. In 1960, when he graduated from the Case Institute of Technology, because the results were too good, they were broken by the school and awarded a bachelor and a master's degree. He immediately entered the Ding Ding's Queen School of Science and Technology, only used a doctorate in three years, only 25 years old. After graduation, he is a member of the school, and the 28-year-old is a associate professor. At the age of 30, Joint Stanford University Computer Department, Professor. From 31 years old, he began to publish his historic classic masterpiece: The Art of Computer Programming. He plans to write 7 volumes, but just publish three volumes, he has shocked the world, making him the highest honor Turing Award in the computer science community. At this time, he was only 36 years old. Later, this book was ranked together with Newton's "Mathematics Principles", which was called "the world's greatest ten scientific works". I believe that the sympathy of the data structure and compilation principles know how unbelieving the KMP algorithm and the LR (K) algorithm, however, this algorithm is all! In computer science, he is mainly a theorist. However, he also made an amazing achievement in theory. The famous version of the typographic software TEX is his work. In addition, MetaFont, etc., are also widely used in the world. His other works and papers are difficult to count, including Concrete Mathematics, etc. Since 1977, he got the title of Fletcher Jones Professor of Computer Science, and also served as Professor of Electrical Engineering. In 1990, Stanford University awarded him an unusual title Professor of The Art of Computerscience as a recognition of his special contribution! His other honorary counts, the main tops: Academician, Academician, US Academy of Sciences, Academician, Academician Academy of Academy of Engineering, Foreign Academician, French Academy of Sciences, Foreign Academician of Norwegian Academy of Sciences .......; US Mathematics STEEELE Award, Sweden Royal Academy ADELSKOLD Award, Israeli University of Technology Harvey Award, IEEE Fengnan Award, Tokyo High-tech Award ... Ten Tens of Tens of Tens of Times. At the same time, he is a Ph.D. of the honor of more than 20 universities such as Oxford University. As early as 1970, he did a special report at the International Mathematics Conference. Knuth gains the Trim Award for 36 years old, he is the youngest map of the awards in history, and even keep this record. In contrast, other people who have obtained the True Prize are generally fifty or 60 years old (such as Mr. Yao last year, Simon, who has just passed away), can be seen how great Knuth! He is really worthy of being a teacher in the master! Knuth has long retired in advance, which is concentrated to write the masterpiece The Art of ComputerProgramming. He has brought twenty-four (this figure permit) his life, and the vowed will not bring more students. However, he has a wonderful commitment: some new problems will continue to be proposed in the lectures in the period. If someone can solve any problems in a given period, he will sign the doctoral thesis (approximately the famous tutor)! I don't know if the world is big. Is there such a reputation? ?
