The Art of Computer Programming is a comprehensive monograph written by Donald Knuth which covers all kinds of algorithms . The first three volumes are published, two others are planned. Originally, it was planned as a single volume of seven chapters, but Knuth soon decided to expand each chapter to an entire volume. Along the way, Knuth was interrupted by his increasing dissatisfaction with the quality of scientific typesetting, and decided to spend a few months working up something more suitable. Eight years later, he returned with TeX. The intended six and seventh chapters, on language parsing and compilation techniques, are promised at some time in the distant future, and there must be substantial doubt that Knuth will be alive to finish them.
